Saturday September 17, 2011, 9.30am till 6.30pm. Lunch provided.

DAY 1 - CHANGE YOUR IMAGE, CHANGE YOUR MINDSET, CHANGE YOUR LIFE: Defining The Artist Within

LIMITED SEATING. Sherman Oaks, CA 91411 location.

As an individual, you have the opportunity to reinvent yourself in every way - the way you are, through your persona, how you introduce yourself, how you market yourself, how you carry yourself.

Hosted by Artist Entrepreneur and professional Coach, Gillli Moon, this one day Retreat is for Artists of any genre, or individuals who want to see the world in a creative way.

For those wanting to define one's path and find clarity in how to present oneself to the world ... this Day Retreat is for YOU. Nestled in a home paradise in Sherman Oaks, surrounded by trees, a pool (for breaks) and a positive environment, you will explore:

who you are - what you want - and how you can get it.

-Who am I? Getting real with my talents, my dreams, and what I have to offer the world.
- Finding my competitive advantage.
- Goal making exercises
- bringing the dream alive.
- Image defining - from concepts to concrete plans through creating and executing.
- Creating a business plan and a definitive plan of attack for the year to get you OUT there.

***UNLEASHING THE STAR IN YOU***

At the end of this day, every participant will know who they are, what they want, and how they can get it.

Sunday September 18, 2011 12-3pm - optional 2nd day

DAY 2 - ROCKSTAR LIVE PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP

North Hollywood, CA 91601 location (15 mins from the Day 1 location)

A special live performance workshop to OWN the STAGE, DELIVER a GREAT SHOW and ROCK THE HOUSE.

Focus areas covered:
- what to say in between songs and various other ideas on stage patter, rhubarb and meaningful story telling.
- how to own the stage with your body - where to plant your feet, what part of the stage to move in, how to use the stage to your fullest potential.
- delivering emotion through the body, eyes and voice during your songs.
- how to reach tens, hundreds, thousands, and grab them in the palm of your hands.
- working with band members. Great tips on keeping your musicians focused and you focused on them as well as your audience.
- proper microphone technique and dealing with equipment, cables and stuff that gets in the way.
- how to deal with difficult venues and stage limitations.
- creating an entire show - from your first song to the last. The story, the movements, the songs all tied up in one package to blow the audience away.
- off the stage - the 101 on arriving to a venue, loading in, performing and loading out, with helpful tips on the meet and greets with fans, industry personnel and others.

This workshop is very much a hands on, practical session focusing on your songs, your performance and your experience.

Do you have what it takes to be on the cover of the Indiebible?

I'm designing the next Indiebible cover - looking for a great live photo from artists.

We need great LIVE shots for the next Indiebible cover. The Indiebible is distributed WORLDWIDE and it's GREAT exposure.

For Songsalive! Pro members only.

Take a look at the current cover above.

No head shots or fancy cd cover shots. Just a really great LIVE shot. There is no pay for usage of your photo, however we include your name and website inside the front left cover, and it's great exposure and promotion.

How to send your photo (do not reply to this email. It won't be read or accepted that way. Go to http://www.songsalive.org, Join as a Pro Member, then go to Community > Forums > Opportunities for the instructions.

Bloggin' it

the official gilli moon diary

Everywhere gilli goes, she writes. Read her anecdotes of different cities, interesting shows, people she meets and experiences felt.

Ask For Clarity

Asking for clarity opens the way for the universe to provide you everything you want. Sometimes we stay in a fog because we don't know how to resolve it or we are confused because we get bogged down in the day to day, and too many decisions and directions to choose from.

Useful Artist Resources

Songsalive!

Songwriters have you checked out the new website? To become the largest songwriters social network worldwide... Get involved now!

As Co-Founder and President of Songsalive!, I've taken a long hard look at how the original Songsalive! site served our members, as well as how we provide service to our membership base overall. Back in 1997 when we started, there were very few artists on the Internet, let alone music organizations. There were very few websites, period. Songsalive! was one of the first truly global communities, bringing songwriters and composers together from all around the world. We were one of the first to provide services and support for songwriters and composers on a global level, and we've stuck with you through over a decade of unbelievable changes in the music business and economic times at large. WE ARE STILL HERE... Going in this new online social direction also asks us to re-visit our programs and services we provide our members, in entirety. It means a revamp on the member benefits, a re-look at our mission and purpose, and a simplification on what we do and how we do it. That way, you get it, and we can deliver it, in this brave new world.... Welcome to Songsalive! 2.0. http://www.songsalive.org
