Writing a speech is very similar to writing a song. You need to be deeply passionate about so shaping the phrases of each line comes second nature to you. In this episode, Maestro Steven White, a Conductor and the Artistic Director of Opera Roanoke, dives deep into maintaining your integrity and values despite your environment. The music industry is a heavily competitive and unforgiving industry, being so, he touches on the proper reasons one might think of pursuing this career. Steven also shares his insights on the critical roles individual quality, distinctiveness, and preparation plays both in music and writing. Know the impact craft and technique has on your presentations and the things you need to consider if you lack the passion about something you need to do.
