Performance  Programs

Over its 22-year history, Showoffs has worked with thousands of performers and non-performers of all levels, producing confident speakers, comfortable singers, dramatic actors, comedic characters, thrilled audiences, and relieved performers.  A short time at Showoffs can transform even the most introverted and fearful person into a self-assurerd entertainer.

The Performance Workshop in our Toronto studio is a fun and rewarding alternative to other public speaking and confidence workshops.

This workshop is popular and effective with a vast range of individuals from recording artists, comedians and actors, to public speakers, corporate professionals and youth.  A natural fit for singers of all levels, this workshop has prepared countless individuals for their "big moments" like wedding speeches, business presentations, first auditions, and even singers preparing to perform the National Anthem among thousands of spectators.  Participants share one common goal:  To create confidence and experience the joy of performance by overcoming discomfort, fears and anxiety.

Students of all singing levels prepare songs to sing live among classmates each week.  Through these mini-performances, the Coach identifies your particular performance obstacles, addresses vocal skills, confidence and stage presence, and reveal your own style and personality.

Are you self-conscious or shy?  Does being in the spotlight make you nervous?  Are you afraid of judgment, forgetting the words or making a mistake?  With Showoffs' proven techniques and lighthearted approach, your discomfort will begin to fade after just one session.

Join us every Wednesday at 7pm to discover your inner performer  Space is limited.  Contact Showoffs today to reserve your space, and start lighting up the stage!
