Virtual Curtain Call
During the Covid epidemic we had to postpone our monthly curtain call meetings, so members recorded performances of themselves which contributed to a virtual curtain call. Now that real curtain calls have started again, we continue to encourage members to add recordings of performances. Just record yourself performing a favourite piece - reading a poem, singing a song, an extract from a play or novel, whatever appeals. You don't need anything very demanding in the way of technology. You can do it on your mobile phone. You can make a video or just sound if you prefer. Once you have done it, send the file to John Baxter at johnbaxter1952@gmail.com . John will edit it and put it on You-tube to share.
If you want technical help feel free to contact John or Mark Frank (mark.t.frank@gmail.com).
Below are links to all the contributions we have had so far. You will find you can make comments on you-tube. They will not appear immediately as John will review them before publishing them.
Why not give it a go!
