Based on Livingston's Taylor's Stage Performance class, which he has been teaching at the Berklee College of Music since 1989, and on his thirty years experience on stage, 'Stage Performance' is the first book to address itself not to the content of your performance, but to the act of performing itself.
It covers everything from how to maintain your composure, how to talk to the audience, how to introduce yourself, how to feel like you have a right to be on stage, how to play to a small audience, how to end a performance, what to do when it all goes wrong, as well as the more subtle but equally important components of a performance like keeping an internal rhythm, sustaining your energy.
Livingston also teaches would-be performers how to advance a career and how not to, how to handle yourself on the radio, how to play your strengths, how to promote yourself, and the whys and hows of record contracts. A down-to-earth book of smart advice from a great teacher.
