Vocal Engagement: How to connect with your audience
Stepping onto a stage in front of a room full of unfamiliar faces can be a daunting task. André talks about his experience as a performing artist and discusses techniques he personally uses to successfully engage with new audiences and talks about the process of winning their trust.
