Baroness Kateline MacFarlane, Mano d'Oro Herald has seen Court from both sides: formerly Baroness of Three Mountains, she was well-known as a court herald before occupying that baronial bench. She will share her wealth of knowledge about pacing, voice usage and ritual.
Lady Elizabeth Turner de Carlisle, Löwenmȃhne Herald, will discuss vocal technique, the care and feeding of your voice and standard procedures for Field and Town Cry duty.
HL Natasha Orionova Zateeva, formerly BeWayre Pursuivant and Vox Leonis Herald is a self-confessed "court junkie", and will show you how to do courts well without stressing yourself to the breaking point.
So, someone has asked you to herald their court. This class will give you the tools you need to make this a less daunting prospect. This class is also helpful for those who are considering service to the SCA as a Baronial or Royal noble.
Students should bring note taking materials.
HL Natasha Orionova Zateeva gives you an experienced view toward making the best use of your voice.
If you are a voice herald, or would like to be, this class will help you understand how to make your voice work for you. We will work to identify and refine the skills needed to make a more theatrical, and thus more interesting, court, field, or town cry presentation.
Proposed subjects for discussion include projection versus volume, proper breathing, voice inflection, vocal timbre, vocabulary, and making boring announcements interesting.
Students should bring note-taking materials and be ready to make some noise!
HL Ursula Georges, Loyall Pursuivant, says: Want an authentic name for a Scythian, Old Bulgar, Hun, Magyar, Turk, or Mongol? We'll discuss research strategies, literate and illiterate personas, titles, and the registration process. Students interested in a particular culture are encouraged to contact the instructor in advance: loyall(AT)antir(DOT)sca(DOT)org
Lady Marya Kargashina, formerly Lion's Blood Herald, discusses Russian (and other Slavic) names including formation tecniques.
HL Teceangl Bach, formerly Lion's Blood Herald, shows you the ins-and-outs of conflict-checking names, devices and/or badges, including in-depth analyses of the rules, rulings and regulations of conflict checking SCA names and armory. Practical application of RfS, Glossary tables and Laurel precedents. Technical discussion of rules and precedents will cover both consulting and submissions.
Lady Elizabeth Turner de Carlisle writes the notification letters to submitters for Lion's Blood. HL Ciaran, Argent Scroll, is a former Lion's Blood and Æstel. They have years of experience explaining (in plain English) what all the "herald-speak" is about, and together they will help you to discuss with clients the changes that may assist them to register.
HL Gwenlian Catharne discusses the questions that every armory herald needs to be able to answer for submitters.
HL Gwenlian Catharne, Demi-lion Herald will discuss the Oath in the ceremony for the Creation of a herald. Why do they make you swear to be sober, then offer to make you drunk? Why is there a baptism in there?
HL Gwenlian Catharne tells you about your required duties as a herald and what to expect from the Kingdom officers.
Often overlooked, the Administrative Handbook is an important and required tool for all heralds. HL Teceangl Bach will review its use as a consultation tool, the tables and appendices and their practical application, and how and when to reference it.
Information presented should be of use to branch heralds and consulting heralds specifically.
HL Teceangl Bach, long-term consulting herald, will show you how to manage consulting at events and meetings. This will include an overview of references, how to find staff, managing extended consults and more. The handout will include lists of things to have and to know.
