Singers
As a singer, you are in a very special performing situation - you are, quite literally, your instrument. To give your most inspired, moving, and natural performances, your mind and body must work together as one. But if your state of mind isn't ideal for your performing situation, you may feel exposed or naked, or have negative thoughts such as "what happens if they don’t like me?", "what happens if my voice doesn’t hold up?", and of course "what happens if I forget the words?" Physical tensions can be built up as a result of these anxieties, and a harmful, viscious circle can be created It's not only about reducing performance anxiety. Giving your most amazing performances is not only about reducing performance anxiety - it's about tapping into the energy behind performance anxiety and transforming it into a positive force. By doing this, your singing on stage can be even better than your singing in the practise room - whether you’re an opera singer, musical theater artist, country & western singer, or 'American Idol' contestant. Particularly relevant for auditions and other high-pressure performance situations, the techniques described in Performing in The Zone are specifically designed to allow your body and mind to work together as one - so that you can perform to your true potential.

Reviews "This is an awesome book that really helps with performance anxiety and a host of other issues that hold me back from performing at my full potential. I wish I had this book, when I had my "big" audition for bass player in the National Symphony in Washington, DC back in the late 70s. "This is not just a book but a workbook, a true workbook. It has questions to answer, goals to set, journals to write and more with clear and easy directions for everything. The book really involves the reader which is an absolute necessity for authentic and lasting change... I feel it can benefit anyone looking to make a positive change in their life." Read more.
