A very up to date recollection from an authority, still gracing his presence in bars, lounges, and on stage, locally and internationally. Anthony not only informs up and coming potential performers of what it takes to become a successful live performer, but also the preparation, and psychology behind it. He prepares any budding performer, of the 'ups and downs' of demonstrating one's craft to most types of audiences, in diverse environments from local bars, pubs, 5 star hotels/resorts, to cruise ships, regardless of genre, or experience.
He also specifies 'individual' requirements, and skill set needed, in order to successfully fulfill positions, that are usually in demand at present. Tips on travelling as a performer, taking on 'long term' residencies, agencies/management vs freelancing, recording, and equipment requirements, are also given. As most performers are usually given 'vague' descriptions as to the 'realities' of performing live and making a living in the 'real world', this book, will clear the air ... guaranteed!
