How to do
Court
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.

Basic Voice
Heraldry
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.

How to do Court
Without Having a Nervous Breakdown
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.

Intermediate
Voice-Heraldry:    Making Your Voice Work for
You
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!

Names for Nomads
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)antirl(DOT)scal(DOT)org

Russian Names
Lady Mrya Kargashina, formerly Lion’s Blood Herald discusses
Russian (and other Slavic) names including formation
tecniques.

The Tools of Conflict
Checking
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.

Helping Submitters understand
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 & 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.

Twenty Questions
HL Gwenlian Catharne discusses the questions that every
armory herald needs to be able to answer for submitters.

The Heraldic Oath
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?

Reporting and Warranting
HL Gwenlian Catharne tells you about your required duties as
a herald and what to expect from the Kingdom officers.

The Administrative Handbook – Its
Use and Necessity
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.

Running a Consulting Table
HL Teceangl Bach, long-term consulting herald 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.
