Speak Performance

You are about to speak... You're terrified! Heart racing, hands wringing, stomach churning. You're not just speaking, but speaking in public. You can't get out of it now. You've got to leave the safety of your chair, trek to the front, turn around and face your audience. What to do, where to go, where is the emergency exit? STOP. Breathe. You are in safe hands. You know your stuff, you have a powerful message to share. With Ges as your guide you will rediscover your natural confidence. You will let go of your anxiety and engage your audience powerfully.

Filmmakers, film students, documentary makers for film and television, and lovers of pop culture will hear, in the filmmakers’ own words, the challenges and triumphs faced in making documentaries. Firsthand knowledge is shared on such topics as how the documentary process differs from making fictional films, storytelling technique, ethical boundaries, funding, film festivals, and much more.

Are you ready for your confidence to explode? Ready for your audiences to request you again and again? Ready to add some zeros and commas to your bank account? Regardless of your industry, profession, job, career, dream, or aspiration, there is a universal skill that you can develop that will be responsible for a large portion of your overall success. What is that skill? It's public speaking and presentation.

Film sets, like most other industries, have a unique language of their own. As the world evolves, so does the work conversation on movie sets. How we once spoke lovingly about 35-milimeter-film making.... is almost gone. Now everything is turning to digital... and that's progressing fast. Basics are still basics, but you have to keep up with the current trends. Crew Speak does just that. A perfect blend of old jargon and slang along with the new terms.
