Testimonials

Theo Katzman

After my sessions with Rob, I feel that a new lane has opened up for me in my performance (and in my life in general). I feel more aware of my mind, my body, and I’m more excited to get onstage, take risks, and be fully present and loving towards myself and the audience. I feel less desire to attempt to control outcomes, but rather to live on the edge of the energy between me and whatever’s in front of me. ROCK AND ROLL MAN.

After our very first session, Rob was able to help me overcome years of rejection and self doubt. Three days later I signed with a new agent and was back in the game. I honestly don't think it would've happened if he hadn't come into my life. Thank you Rob!

Rob isn't afraid to get inside your head and shake things around. Next thing you know you're standing up straighter, connecting with the audience, in sync with your bandmates, and it all comes from a genuine place. It's easy to get caught up in the technical side of music but performance is an art in its own. Rob knows how to instantly spot strengths and weaknesses and harness them into something powerful.

The Accidentals

Seth Bernard

Obstacles that had been preventing me from being fully present in my potential were made clear, and many were removed completely. Rob's combination of highly attuned skill sets have given him a completely unique ability to work with people of all walks as an extremely effective coach, teacher, advisor, healer and friend. He has efficiently and compassionately guided me toward improved health and well being which has resulted in a consistently stronger response from audiences, more merchandise sales, more encores, less stress and anxiety about life and work, and less fear about obstacles in my path toward my goals and dreams.

Everyone I knew that had worked with Rob had a similar sentiment: "this will change your life", and they weren't the slightest bit off the mark! Not only did Rob show me a lot of toxic tendencies in my stage habits, he showed me (or rather, guided me to find on my own) a lot of toxic tendencies in my own thinking habits, and one single session with him yielded greater strides towards self-comfortability, both on and off stage, then anything else had in my 28 years of life. I highly recommend this to anyone serious about performing and opening their mind to a world of wonderful possibilities.

The Brandino Extravaganza

May Erlewine

After 15 years of performing professionally, I finally feel like I'm inviting all of myself onto the stage. Rob doesn't impose his idea of performing upon you, he helps you to see the ideas you are imposing upon yourself. Sometimes a shift in perspective is the difference between surviving and thriving. Rob's methods teach you how to sustain a life-long career without burning out. He offers the tools it takes to get there. Yes, this is the guy all of the musicians are talking about. Yes, he is that good. If you are a performer looking to deepen your connection with your art, yourself and your audience, Rob is your guy.

May Erlewine, The Motivations

Steven Koehler

As a full time professional performer for the last 15 years, I consider ongoing training to be essential to keep myself motivated, to develop new skills, and avoid burn-out. In my first private session with Rob, within seconds I realized that I was in the presence of a master teacher. Rob instantly started teaching me things that I knew would immediately make me e better performer, as well as more conscious human being.

Rob has what I call an uncanny knack for seeing where one is an "auto-pilot", and therefore limiting their potential as a performer. Additionally, I find Rob's group classes or private sessions to be super FUN, and an opportunity to bond with other students and performers. I have turned many performers onto Rob's work, and they have all loved and benefited from it. Rob's work is truly a "wake up call" to life.

Steve the Magic Guy

Getting my band coached by Rob Reider has been a crucial step in us taking our set to the next level. Through simple exercises and mental concepts we have been delivering a better show every single night to our audience-- and the difference was noticed after session one with him. Personally, I have the bad habit of letting my attention fall into my fretboard and away from the moment, Rob has given me practical tools to keep my head in the game and my presence strong and connective. I would recommend this coaching to any act that wants to learn how to command the audiences attention from downbeat to encore.

Working with Rob completely changed the direction and feeling of our group. We went from feeling like we were at a plateau, performance-wise and creatively, to having a whole new set of tools with which to engage each other and the audience in order to have a very good show, every single night. I am very grateful to Rob for his insight into Presence and Awareness, and for the direct and no-bullshit manner with which he strips away the useless patterns which are preventing the "light" from shining through each person he works with.

Personally, I find that the exercises and instruction that I receive from Rob help to simplify my life, and remove patterns of thinking or feeling which are unhelpful and get in the way of living the life that I wish to lead.

I was fortunate to participate in a Coach Presence session with Coach Presence today - absolutely amazing to see the beautiful transformation that this work can bring for an artist, not only in their capacity as a performer but in all aspects of life. I was moved to tears today witnessing someone truly show up, bright and powerful in their true nature. The art of presence is truly magical.
