About Robin Dunn's F.A.C.E.:

F.A.C.E. an acronym for Focus, Attitude, Confidence, Energy

and Eye Contact is a method designed to aid performing
artists with being powerful on stage and on camera. It is
also designed to aid business professionals with being more

confident in the work place. F.A.C.E. helps artists to
enhance their technical skills as well as increasing stage
presence and personality. It is a liberating tool to free
artists and business professionals to be who they really
are and project the same to the outer world - their
audience.

F.A.C.E. will connect you with the performer you are and
provide you with the tools necessary to compete in today's
world. Auditions and even interviews can be challenging and

F.A.C.E. provides the tools to manage nervousness, low
self-esteem, and lack of focus.
