  TAKE IT EASY - And more tips for...

  TAKE IT EASY™ isn't about a new way of doing improv, nor is it meant to replace your own style or approach. Instead it's a mindset that can inform your performance and your approach to improvisation. The exercises and ideas in here will give you more freedom onstage, help you be less attached to the outcome and more in the moment, and generally see you having more fun. 
  This is not an ‘introduction to improv’ book, nor is it a how-to manual. This book is a collection of thoughts and observations designed to give people a different perspective on their craft, and it also includes games and exercises for people to do on their own or to bring to their group to reinforce some of the principles and ideas and thoughts expressed herein. 
  Improv is, paradoxically, a pursuit that requires both dedication and an absence of trying. For when a player is trying too hard, they will inevitably fail. This book, by longtime improviser and improv teacher Ryan Millar, is filled with stories, thoughts, advice, and exercises to help players improve their improv, and do more by doing less.  
  TAKE IT EASY™ is the chillest way to supercharge your improv.

  The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Arts and Culture
  ECPA Top Shelf Award Winner
  For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and understood in relation to the Christian faith?
  In this volume, theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel, which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news of Jesus Christ.

  Whether trying to become voiceover artist, train a puppy, address a crowd, or become a more successful business leader, having a deeper voice can offer a number of advantages. Studies have found that men with deeper voices are more confident and authoritative, and what they say is more easily remembered. But a deeper voice can also be beneficial for women, particularly in business and politics – as people prefer voting for politicians of both genders with deep voices. This audio program will offer 12 tips for developing a voice filled with warmth and expression, that has an even resonance and is easy on the ears, one that carries well so that people can understand and remember exactly what you’re saying, one that is flexible and natural, and has a wide-ranging deep pitch.

  The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.

  My First Violin Album

  Watch an expert violinist pick up the violin, place it under the chin and draw the bow across the strings, making music sing in the air: it seems so easy and natural.
  Actually, it can feel rather awkward at first! Where do I put my fingers for different notes? And how can I do it as well as pull the bow smoothly so it makes a nice sound? It seems so difficult!
  The violin is one of the most popular instruments the world over. Probably more children learn the violin than any other instrument (except perhaps the recorder).
  One reason is that music needs so many violins. Music for orchestras needs a lot of violins; gypsy music in Hungary needs violins; raags in India sometimes use violins. Folk musicians in England, America and many other countries use the violin too.
  In the 14 tracks of this collection, you can hear many different kinds of classical music from the violin. See which ones you like best...
