Linda Davis to offer Stage Performance 101 at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame

Grammy award winning recording artist Linda Davis has launched a consulting firm designed to offer guidance to other performers.  Called Stage Performance 101, the new company will allow Davis, who has more than 20 years of experience in the music business, to direct and advise other entertainers. Linda will offer these classes at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame on Friday, June 27, 2008.

According to Davis, Stage Performance 101 is not in the business of vocal coaching, nor is it a choreography company.  With her years of experience on stage, Davis has an eye for laying out the overall well-rounded techniques that set a professional apart from an aspiring artist, and in helping an artist find their comfort zone on a stage.  Whether a client is preparing for a pageant and the needs are for a one-song event, or an artist is developing a 45-minute set with a band, Davis can assess the need as well as the abilities of the client and set them on their way to a successful performance.

“My objective is to allow the artist/client to be an individual, to always be themselves, not say what I would say or move across the stage like I would move across the stage,” she explained. Davis has clients that range in age and aspirations, from the 8-year old girl who is entering a talent contest, to the woman who wants to improve her church solos; from the pageant contestant who wants to win at the state level, to the new recording artist who needs a 10 song set of music to flow for 45 minutes. Each benefit from the critiques and experience of working one on one with Davis. Call the Panola County Chamber office at 903-693-6634 to register and for more information.
