Tips & Recommendations
For Readers
Please note that readers now have a reduced ticket price of 10 euros at the door. The entrance for readers will be based on the reader's guest list, ensuring that all contributors can still participate while supporting the event.
We are thrilled you are here considering performing as a reader at the Kinky Soul Reading Night event, and we are excited to listen to what you have to say. We have collected for you the following Tips & Helpful Recommendations :
Stik to the time limit - the format is 3 to 7 minutes, if you have a text that is a bit longer please confirm with the host in advance.
Give a trigger alert before you read something that might trigger other people.
Avoid reading from your phone - if you can print or write it down and read it from paper, it will look better on stage.
Practice out loud - It often sounds different out loud than how you hear it in your head. We recommend practicing in front of a mirror or with a voice recorder at least one time before.
It doesn't have to be serious - poetry reading can sound like an intellectually "serious" event, but if your text allows it you can have comedic or dramatic interpretations, and you can be as creative as you like or not at all.
It doesn't need to be good - It's not a competition. We are having fun with words and experimenting with self-expression, this is the only important thing!
Help us promote - if you are comfortable sharing your part in the event, please feel free to post and tag @kinkysoul_berlin on Fetlife prior to or after the event.
