Book: Stage Performance - Livingston Taylor

I was unfamiliar with Livingston Taylor's work as an artist, but he wrote a book called "Stage Performance" which, considering the focus of this here blog, was irresistible to me.  I'm glad I picked it up because it's a wonderful book about how to be a performing musician, and that makes it directly relevant to all my singer and musician buddies.  I mean, the acting stuff is highly relevant to them as well but it's not so easy to connect the dots sometimes!

Besides being a prolific musician and performer, Mr. Taylor is a professor at Berklee College of Music where he teaches a class on stage performance.  The class inspired the book.

The book is the inspiration for quite a few upcoming articles here on Owning The Stage.  Lots of great concepts in there, that I can't wait to test in my own coaching and in my own performing!

I've added "Stage Performance" to the resources page, which lists most of the books I've read on the topic of performance.  You can check out Liv Taylor on his web site, or like everything else these days on youtube.
