Prepare a Live Video That Reassures Bookers
A strong live video is worth more than 100 messages.
Bookers want to see what you look like onstage.
One good live video can be enough to secure shows.
š„ 1. Prioritize authenticity
Bookers look for:
- vocal accuracy
- stage presence
- audience connection
- real performance energy
No need for a music video ā a clean live capture is best.
šø 2. Record it properly
Even simple footage must respect the basics:
- stable framing
- good lighting
- clear audio
- no clipping
A good smartphone is enough if used well.
š§± 3. Choose a representative track
Not too long, not too technical ā just a strong, emblematic song.
š 4. Add a short text intro
Not in the video, but in the presskit:
- venue
- date
- context
- creative intention
