Stage Performance

There is a secret to winning an audience -- any audience, whether you're standing before them to sing a song, give a speech, or sell an idea. In his very popular Stage Performance class at Boston's renowned Berklee College of Music, singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor teaches students how to take to the stage without fear and deliver a natural performance that is rewarding for both the artist and the audience. Follow his unique approach to being comfortable in the spotlight, and discover:
-- the conversion of performance
-- the right way to begin -- and end -- your time onstage
-- understanding and conquering stage fright
-- the single most important factor in your show's success...and more.

Thousands of shows in 30+ years have enabled Livingston Taylor to understand and offer solutions to the nervousness and confusion people experience onstage as they attempt to expose their art and ideas to others. Filled with humorous, inspiring, and instructive anecdotes from Taylor's own performing life, this is the book that can take every musician -- and performer of every kind -- to a new level of professionalism.
