August "But also..." Newsletter
Hey hi hello!
I saw a meme the other day about August being an eternal Sunday...and its for sure at least an eternal admin situation over here at Tara Priolo Studio.
So, in an effort to not waste your time let's just jump into promo and news!
NEW NEWS:
Pay What You Can August/September Offer: Content Cohort!
I've noticed with my past clients & many people around me on the internet a need for someone to continuously encourage you to post (#pushthedamnbutton), to audit your content, & to fight the aloneness feeling when you don't get the amount of engagement you were expecting.
If you are on this list and you sign up for this Content Cohort - you'll get to help choose the platform we communicate on: Slack, Voxer, or Facebook Groups.
This is for the person who already knows how to use social media, but just feels out of topics, inspiration, or courage to get the ish out the door. My expectation is that you'll produce at least one post per week from being in the group. There will be other bennies as well, but know that this cohort will be mostly about accountability as opposed to a group coaching program.
Learn the stories behind the pieces, composers, & poets & the challenges of singing these pieces, how to introduce them to your studios & who I think they are best suited for on Patreon beginning next month. I'll be sharing resources, podcast episodes, and blog posts on each piece (1 piece per month) and all of the donations will go to Black Opera Alliance.
This is for the voice teacher or singer interested in learning more about these pieces, my journey with them to introduce them into their studios or their own rep.
Donations/purchases of the album are also still welcome on Bandcamp! I'd love to get the album 500 listens (that means 20 people have to listen to all the tracks!) & to another $500 by the end of the year.
Other News:
Voice Audits are still available for $25 a pop. Send in a video and I'll get you set up for success on that piece!
Branding Offers Branding Express and Branding Bundles are available to you, I'll send out another email about Branding Bundles with a special email list coupon next week!
