Festa: Finding your Voice with Rocco Urbisci

Festa: Finding your Voice with Rocco Urbisci

What’s all this talk about “Point of view” among comedians? It’s the number one thing producers, studio and network executives look for. If you’re a comedian, you need a strong point of view. This is not a class on how to write jokes. This workshop will help you look inside yourself and recognize that stand-up is merely an extension of your views and beliefs. Who are you? What events have been the landmarks in your life? How do you share those thoughts and feelings and turn them into humor? The character you present on stage is essential in developing lifelike performances and the jokes are the caboose to finding your voice and building your persona. Whether you’re just starting out or have been writing and performing for years, this class, led by Emmy-award winning producer/writer/director Rocco Urbisci , will help you understand the difference between being a good comic and great comedian.

Through first-hand accounts of working with Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lily Tomlin, David Letterman, Jamie Foxx and many others, Rocco will give you a new perspective on comedy and the industry. You’ll get tangible information to help you develop your voice, write to who you are, and be fearless in taking the stage. This unique workshop is being offered only one day, so don’t miss it.
