Critic Reviews

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR LUCIE AND THE ART OF LIVE PERFORMANCE UNLOCKED


A performance coach to follow.

LA Weekly


I had the incredible opportunity to work with Lucie, and I can't express enough how transformative the experience was. Lucie's approach to performance coaching is nothing short of remarkable.

Shiv

Singer-Songwriter-Producer


I could only wish that this book was available when I first started. I truly believe it would've helped me along the way and saved me the unnecessary worry and anxiousness that surrounds all things performance.

DYO

Singer-Songwriter


I can't recommend Lucie enough for any up and coming or established artist. Her coaching is cutting edge.

Evan Yiangou (Sparkin MC)


Lucie's work had a significant impact on our students at BIMM London University. Even the most challenging cases of stage fright and performance anxiety clearly improved over the course of the time that Lucie worked closely with them. The Art of Live Performance Unlocked will be a valuable asset for every aspiring performer and will completely change their mindset regarding the art of performance.

Constantine Magdalinos

Deputy Course Leader at BIMM University, London


In my opinion, The Art of Live Performance Unlocked is a motivational masterwork that's up there with Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, Kenny Werner's Effortless Mastery and the best, most pivotal writings on human potential and performance mindset - with a unique focus on the

contemporary music industry. A must-have for every performer's (and teacher's) bookshelf, gig bag or audio library!

Faye Patton

UK Jazz Artist


The Art of Live Performance Unlocked can benefit any artist because it considers you as a human being as well as an artist. Lucie's expertise covers everything you are worried about as a performer, either consciously or not.

Maxime Elliot

Songwriter-Performer


I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking to not only master the technical aspects of live performance but also to tap into the artistry and magic that can make your moments on stage truly unforgettable. This book is an indispensable resource for performers at any skill level.

Eva Brandt

Co-founder and Host of the Music Teacher Training podcast


I have been very fortunate to share the teaching stage with Lucie. Her expertise is unendingly brilliant and her tips to overcome stage fright/performance anxiety have radically helped students fulfil their dreams. Having seen her magic in action, I know that anyone who reads this book will find it so helpful that it will almost feel like having a secret tool.

Nadie Keating

I can't recommend Lucie enough, she is such a brilliant coach. This book is like gold dust for artists like myself.

Kinnetia Isidore

If you're looking to enhance your stage presence or seek guidance as a performer, Lucie is the ultimate source of inspiration and knowledge.

Mike Mckenzie

I can only imagine how precious it will be for performers to have this true 'performance bible' with all Lucie's brilliant insights and advice. Her tips are very knowledgeable and like nothing I've seen so far in the industry.
