Ben Moor is a lovely, talented, warm-hearted person. Don’t take my word for it. He’s famously this.
A few days before my first proper show in 15 years, I asked Ben by email if he had any tips. He wrote back:
Breathe deeply before going on – do you have a mantra? – mine is borrowed from [American football coach] Marv Levy who used to say to his players “Where else would you rather be, than right here, right now.” It’s the last thing I say to myself before going on stage and it settles me nicely.
Also, if you think you’re talking too slowly, you’re probably talking at the right pace.
Have fun out there!
Love and peace,
Ben x
