Excellent

I loved this book. it has inspired me and gave me the direction I was in need of thanks a bunch 👍👍👍👍👍

Powerful applicable advice

I have just listened to this book for the third time. I love the powerful applicable advice for speakers at any stage of their career. Fabulous book! Can’t wait to implement every single bit of it. The next time I read it, I will be in a totally new and different place and I’m very excited about that growth trajectory. This book gives every reader the steps! Let’s go!!

Learn how to rock every one of your life's performances

The word "performance" has a kind of oily overtone: think of someone "performing" in conversation or a presentation, and you probably think of someone who's faking it. But as Michael Port points out, performance can be profoundly authentic—and in this book, he draws on the actor's toolbox to equip you to deliver convincing, powerful, honest performances.

The emphasis is on public speaking, but much of what he covers applies to everything from crucial conversations to that make-or-break job interview. And he provides examples that cover the full gamut of life's performances.

I'm glad I bought both the audiobook and the Kindle version. I know I'll be referring back to the text often, but there's no substitute for hearing Michael's examples—especially around voice work and delivery.

I've been writing and delivering speeches, and coaching public speakers, for well over 20 years, and I learned a lot. I hope you'll find this just as useful.

Michael Port is fantastic!

he is probably the best speech coach in the world...so listening to him is like getting a one on one lesson from a top performer for a huge bargain. if you want to make better speeches, this book is a must - listen/read.

Great for veterans and beginners alike!

Practical, inspirational and thought-provoking tools. I've spoken much but this helped break down the creation process, as well as great tips on how to deliver a stand out performance. I love Michael Port!

great teaching

Improved my presentations and communication to large groups. The instructions to get through a performance is great.

This is the Answer for Me!

I want to write a review worthy of Michael Port but if I wait to craft the perfect sentiment in regards to his insights, I will never finish and I'm in a hurry to get back to Audible and listen again!

What Michael covered will be a tremendous help to me in my business. I am at a critical crossroads in work and in life and what he has shared is invaluable to me. How I am perceived means everything and when I do what he says to do I will be booked solid at a much higher rate, working with whom I want to work, and doing what I what j love. I'm just so excited.! I know that what I've always desired is now not only possible but completely probable.

Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!

With deep gratitude and sincere fondness,

More Than I Bargained For

Tons of Great Content! Fantastically performed! I plan to listen to this many times!
Micheal makes great connections between performance and life. This book is also uplifting. I highly recommend!

Very good

Michael doesn't just give tips for public speaking. This is a comprehensive plan of how to prepare and present in public and private situations. Well Done!

I'll be returning to this book many times!

Packed with extremely useful tips on giving performances, this book might be the most practical (dare I say it) manual on public speaking I have read as of yet. It's logically structured, provides summaries in the just the right places, is written in an easy-to-understand language and focuses on the practical uses of each tip by providing relatable examples (imaginary sometimes, but mainly from real life).

I think I'm going to be returning to this book every time I have to prepare a presentation and even write a paper! Yes - it even covers the preparatory steps for giving speeches/performances or, as Michael Port would put it, any type of "show" in your life.
