Performing in the Zone – a book by Jon Gorrie

 

This week I chanced upon a new book about transforming stage fright.  It is called Performing in the Zone by Jon Gorrie.  Jon has written a blog post to tell a story about a man in a Dallas church who was asked to speak by his minister to the very large congregation.  The man was extremely nervous to speak until his wife made a simple comment to him that shifted how he thought about speaking to his church group. Read the story and look at Jon’s book.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for your post – I hope you enjoy “Performing in The Zone” :)

Currently, I am preparing ‘Performing in The Zone’ Workshops, aimed at presenting and elaborating on some of the content of my book directly to students at universities, music/dance/and theatre schools.

Back to topic though, I found a great video today about a small group that performs their order at a fast-food outlet. In a way it’s really inspiring to watch, because the singers are just so relaxed, comfortable, and enjoying the situation :)

I posted the video today (9/9/09) on my blog here: http://www.thezonebook.com/blog

Take care, and all the best!

Jon
