How should I price my act? https://shinymusic.co.uk/management/music-business-management/ https://shinymusic.co.uk/management/music-business-management/#respond Tue, 11 Jan 2011 11:02:41 +0000 http://topvocalcoach.com/vocal-coaching-manchester/ Mentor Partner Question?

Good straight forward question, which does not have such a straight forward answer I’m afraid.

Mmmmm lets see now, where to begin??

Did you see the programme on the telly recently Sir Alan Sugar searching for a Junior Apprentice? They were given a load of Cheese, yes I said Cheese; the smelly stuff, which they had to sell for the best price in the space of 1 day.
Sir Alan said he didn’t want them to come back with any because he didn’t want his office smelling out with a load of stinky cheese. The point I am trying to make here is that like cheese, what you are selling is perishable, i.e. If you don’t fill the date with a gigg it’s gone forever. You can’t get time back. What you need to do to start off with is to decide how many dates a week you want to make available. Obviously when you start out you’ll probably have other stuff going on in your life like maybe another job aswell and possibly other commitments aswell.

If you want to find out how I negotiate the price of my giggs, then all you need to do is subscribe to the 7 Inspirational steps to getting your act together.

How can I Be More Fabulous? – A Question from one of my Mentoring Partners Beckie https://shinymusic.co.uk/coaching-singing/performance-singing-coaching/ https://shinymusic.co.uk/coaching-singing/performance-singing-coaching/#respond Sat, 08 Jan 2011 18:57:43 +0000 http://topvocalcoach.com/vocal-coach-manchester/ Hi Becky

You are already fabulous!! The key is to really truly know it from the bottom of your stomach.

One thing I’ve learned is that I needed to calm down on the old ‘perfection obsession’ and learn to be more self forgiving. Once I did that, I relaxed into my job of entertaining and started to really find my feet.

Keep going sweetie you are doing so well – truly amazing progress.

Can singing make you live longer? https://shinymusic.co.uk/lessons/vocal-coach-singing-lessons/ https://shinymusic.co.uk/lessons/vocal-coach-singing-lessons/#respond Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:12:22 +0000 http://topvocalcoach.com/vocal-coach-singing-lessons/ Often when I am doing a gigg, I tease my audience about how singing is good for arthritis. I say it’s been clinically proven but I’m not sure it has. In any case the mere fact that they think it could be a possibility, makes them laugh and feel better straight away. As an entertainer I think my job is not only to entertain the guests / audience but to take them on an emotional journey through sad songs, songs that bring back good memories, songs that they can join in to and sing along with. All this will keep them engaged with what I am delivering, distracting them from the norm, perhaps the mundane routine of everyday life and because the interactions make them feel strong emotions, I conclude based on the feedeback that I have had over 20 years of performing live for countless audiences, that YES I personally do believe that singing can prolong life or if not, at least make what life we have a lot more enjoyable.
