Each individual has a timbre to their voice which is distinct, rare, and personal. Vocal Chords aims to preserve author’s voices so they can strike a chord with their personal audience.
The Community Offers:
- Two monthly open-call workshops.
- Monthly social events to engage with other creatives.
- A stronger connection to the city of Washington, D.C.
