No. 445 - Stage Fright with Heather E. Schwartz

We talk to author, speaker, and creator, Heather E. Schwartz! Jason talks with Heather, creator of Quiet Girl Comedy, about her journey and how a lifelong shyness and stage fright shifted after taking improv classes which led her to her current workshops. She talks about how a musical improv boot camp at ImprovBoston led her to notice that performance energy varies by experience. She shares moving from freelance magazine work into steadier work-for-hire book assignments, including adapting The Muppet Movie into a kid-friendly picture-book version, and writing celebrity and political biographies. Jason and Heather also discuss how non-performers in creative fields can still benefit from public speaking and why she started her new “Tame Your Stage Fright” workshop that offers a self-support strategy for public speaking.
