TRUEFIRE PRESENTS LIVINGSTON TAYLOR'S
THE STAGE PERFORMANCE PLAYBOOK
Livingston Taylor’s Stage Performance Playbook draws on 50 years of experience as a touring singer-songwriter and thousands of hours teaching the art and craft of stage performance as a Berklee College of Music professor. There’s simply no one better qualified to guide your rite of passage on your way to becoming a “great” performer.
This indispensable 5 1/2 hour Stage Performance masterclass includes 52 video lessons, 19 stage performance examples, and 11 homework assignments to help you assimilate the principles and make them your own.
You’ll learn how to conquer your obstacles and fears, engage an audience, and elevate your performances every time. You’ll learn how to keep stage fright at bay, how to draw the best playing out of your bandmates, and how to get past a bad flub onstage. He’ll show you how to internalize a beat to create an environment that captures and holds an audience. You’ll learn the value of coherent melodies, clean chords, crisp stage banter, and so much more.
LIVINGSTON TAYLOR'S QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
"What an audience needs above all else is to believe that they matter, that they have value, that their presence is of value. Above all else, an audience must feel better about themselves after they leave than they felt coming in." - Patch, August 12, 2019
Until next time,
