Performing the Spoken Word with Tyran Saffold Jr

Have you ever felt the urge to perform your work in front of people? Or do you already love performing your work to others?

My guest in this episode of the podcast is Dallas based poet and performer, Tyran Saffold.  He spends a lot of time reading and reciting his work and he also runs a spoken word magazine, has a YouTube channel and his own podcast.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Tyran and I wanted to know how he gets himself and his pieces ready for a recital and what it is he loves about performing his work to others

In this episode we discuss:

• Defining the spoken word
• How Tyran got into spoken word
• Genres and topics that interest Tyran
• How Tyran gets a piece ready to perform
• Is it possible to earn money from poetry
