There are many ways to present onstage as a strong performer, and many musicians, bands, and artists have found their own unique take on what it means to have a powerful and lasting stage presence.

So, you want to wow your audience? Here’s how!

To captivate audiences and remain well composed on stage as a musician, there are some simple tricks: focus on preparation and rehearsal, engage with the audience, bring energy and presence to your performance, create an emotional connection with your music, and be authentic to yourself and your style. Hopefully, these elements will help you deliver a memorable performance that resonates with your audience. However, there is more to it than just some bullet points. What Livingston Taylor’s The Stage Performance Playbook course will instill in you are the core tenets and ideas that will bring your stage presence to the next level and captivate audiences.

A note from our founder: ”Three years in the making, filmed at multiple locations, hundreds of hours piecing it all together — this is an extraordinary TrueFire learning experience. You won’t learn a single new lick or cool chord voicing in this 5 1/2 hour masterclass but put Livingston’s stagecraft principles to work, and your audience will be talking about you all the way home.” – Brad Wendkos, TrueFire Founder
