Melanie M. Long
Any time you communicate with others, the way you carry yourself, the way you speak, and the way you interact with your listeners - your presence - is equally as important as the words you say. Great actors, musicians, and public speakers all seem to have strong presence, and to some degree, this same capacity is something we all need and use in many areas of life, both professional and personal. Is this ability to connect powerfully and authentically with an audience something you’re born with, or are there ways to develop it? Can presence, in fact, be learned?
As you’ll discover in this illuminating and highly practical course, the answer is an unqualified “yes”. The skills of poise, physical ease in public, clarity of speaking, and engaging, effective communication are well understood and can be practiced and developed in ways that will greatly improve your success in presenting yourself in any setting.
In Mastering Stage Presence: How to Present to Any Audience, Melanie Martin Long, a celebrated teacher of acting and directing, leads you in an in-depth exploration of the skills - and the joy - of performance and self-presentation. You’ll practice exercises to develop physical freedom and ease and to expand your vocal resources. You’ll learn how to channel nervous energy into effective performance and how to keep your audience’s attention. With the skills you’ll develop, you can confidently step forward as a performer or presenter, offering your best self to the world in any setting.

1. It focused primarily on acting and presenting and my main interest is singing
2. I typically listen to audio books on my commute in my car so I couldn't do some of the exercises
3. Not being able to see some of the things she was doing minimized the usefulness of the information.
If you're an actor, this book might be useful for you.
Well presented, just challenging as audio book

There are many sections in the book that are supposed to have an accompanying video. For those, you just have to use your imagination, as there is no video.
Not quite what I expected
