Once More With Feeling, the latest book by renowned author and coach Michael Parker, is set for release in the UK later this month. The book explores the art of rehearsal, sharing stories from luminaries and ordinary individuals as they prepare for success.
This unique work is the first to highlight the rehearsal techniques that unite performers, athletes, politicians, and job candidates in their pursuit of mastery.
Michael Parker, the UK’s leading pitch coach and the bestselling author of It’s Not What You Say, It’s The Way You Say It!, brings his extensive expertise to this project. Drawing from his experience as a two-time Olympic hurdler and his involvement in over 1,000 business pitches, Parker offers an inspiring compilation of insights and anecdotes.
“Rehearsal isn’t just for actors,” Michael Parker explained. “Once More With Feeling has a wide-ranging scope of appeal for anyone preparing to perform, from the nerve-wracking job interview to the corporate world of contract negotiation, team-briefings and presentations.
“In the expanding world of social media, influencers aim to entice their followers to buy into their journey. Rarely can any of this be best achieved off-the-cuff or in a single take.”
The book has already received high praise. Caroline Goyder, author of Find Your Voice, remarked: “I’m sure anyone, artist or athlete, set on mastering their performance, will gain from these stories. I did!”
Jonathan Maitland, playwright and broadcaster, said: “Whatever you’re preparing for – a speech, job interview, business pitch, sports event, concert or play – this book will improve your performance. Full of invaluable nuggets of advice.”
Once More With Feeling will be available for purchase on Amazon and at major UK bookstores from 23 January.
Michael Parker added: “This book will be of interest to both coaches and the coached. Whatever you’re preparing for – speech, job interview, business pitch, sporting event, concert or play, it will inspire your performance, and help you stand out in a world of AI.”
