Robin's technique for breathing life into a performance is through her patented Robin Dunn's F.A.C.E. technique. F.A.C.E., an acronym for Focus, Attitude, Confidence, Energy and Eye Contact, is a tightly constructed technique designed to develop and enhance artists, business professionals and individuals with being more comfortable on stage, camera, the work place and in their everyday lives.

The workshops are currently being offered in New York City and are available for venues worldwide.
