You’ve got a big idea. But when it’s time to share it with an audience, your hands are shaking, your slides are a mess, and you're pretty sure everyone in the audience thinks you're a fraud!

​In this half-day, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the skills that will make you an amazing presenter for the rest of your career. This isn’t some boring old lecture; you're going to practice presenting, build your slides, polish your story, and walk out of here ready - and maybe even excited? - to get up in front of people and present!

​Spots are limited to 20 so everyone gets personal feedback. Grab yours before they're gone.

​About the Host: ​Andrea Bridges-Smith spent over 15 years in marketing for tech companies before pivoting to the world of entertainment (multiple TV network executives have told her she’s had the best pitch decks they'd ever seen). As host of the Fenix News Network, she has a unique perspective on what to say and how to say it. When she’s not on camera, she helps founders & executives sharpen their stories, improve their slide decks, and feel confident onstage.

Get ready for a hoot and a holler at the Girl Guitar Showcase! Hosted at Antone's, this is a party you don't want to miss. We'll have a full line up of LIVE music, plus unbeatable raffle prizes. It's always an afternoon full of laughs, music and community. If you've been curious about Girl Guitar, this is a great chance to see exactly what we're all about!

Start From Zero is a welcoming, low-pressure workshop designed for women who have always wanted to play guitar but didn’t know where to begin — or thought they missed their chance. In this 90-minute group experience, you’ll learn the fundamentals in a supportive, judgment-free environment where questions are encouraged and perfection is not required. Guitars are available to borrow, no prior experience is necessary, and you’ll make music on day one. More than a class, this workshop is an invitation into Girl Guitar — Austin’s home for women in music — where confidence, creativity, and community matter just as much as chords.

This workshop is for women 21+.

Perfect rhyme, family rhyme, slant rhyme, additive and subtractive rhyme - there’s all sorts of rhymes we can use in songs that can provide a lot more freedom to say what we mean, rather than feeling trapped in perfect rhyme, or twisting a sentence into an archaic form to force a rhyme.

In the first part of this workshop, we’ll focus on different rhyme schemes and how they can strengthen our songs, including an exercise to help you generate raw material for a new song by looking for rhyme pairs first!

The second part of the workshop will be open to song sharing and feedback. Bring copies of your lyrics and your instrument if you’d like to share. Whether you share a song or not, by listening and responding in the group, you’ll learn a lot about songwriting that you can take back to your own songs!
