Professional Advice, Insight, Training & Guidance for on Stage Performance

Stage Performance Coaching

Good singing and playing are only part of being a successful entertainer. Learning how to carry yourself on stage, choose the right songs, connect with an audience, and overcome nervousness can make all the difference.

Clay offers one-on-one coaching and honest critiques to help you improve in areas such as:

  • Stage presence, movement, and posture
  • Choosing songs that suit your voice
  • Finding your own style and image
  • Overcoming stage fright and building confidence
  • Microphone technique and eye contact
  • Connecting with an audience and delivering a song’s message
  • Vocal performance and stage attire
  • Interviews, promotional materials, and career advice


Two-Hour Coaching Session: $300

The session includes a critique of your performance video, two hours of personal instruction and guidance, and a follow-up video critique to see how you’re putting the suggestions into practice.

Ongoing weekly lessons are also available.

Help Getting Started

Sometimes all it takes is a little direction from someone who has been there. Clay works with singers and musicians on everything from singing on pitch and choosing songs to developing a personal style, working a crowd, recording a CD, and finding places to perform.

He can also offer advice on handling the ups and downs of the music business, dealing with rejection, and keeping expectations realistic.

Experience That Comes from Being There

Clay Campbell has been a musician and entertainer since 1963. Over the years, he has recorded in Nashville, appeared on television, had records played on radio stations across the country, and written five books.

Through his work with the Kentucky Opry, he has given thousands of performers the opportunity to sing with a live band and perform in front of an audience in a smoke-free, alcohol-free environment.

Clay has also spent time talking with many well-known country music artists, including Bill Monroe, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Porter Wagoner, Connie Smith, and many others. Those experiences, along with a lifetime in music, have given him plenty of practical advice to share with those who want to perform.

As Clay puts it:

“Spectacular performance is always preceded by: unspectacular preparation, hard work, struggles, disappointment, hurts, stress, and practice, practice, practice for years and years.”
