Every day, talented acoustic performers and bands compete for limited spots at local venues, clubs, restaurants, and events. But talent alone isn't enough to secure consistent gigs or premium fees. The question is, are you the kind of performer talent buyers are excited to hire over and over again?

At Acoustic Performers Academy, I teach you the must-know strategies to stand out in your market. From mastering your stage presence to creating irresistible promotional materials, you’ll learn what it takes to catch the eye of talent buyers, venue owners, and event organizers.

Ask yourself:

• Do you know what venue owners look for when choosing acts?

• Is your setlist tailored to entertain their audience while fitting the vibe of the venue?

• Are your promotional materials and demo videos polished and professional, making it easy for buyers to choose you?

• Do you understand the importance of bringing back and keeping an audience to ensure you're rebooked?

If you're not confident in answering any of these, you're leaving gigs (and money) on the table.

At the Acoustic Performers Academy, I provide you with the tools to:

• Elevate Your Performance: Develop an engaging stage presence that leaves lasting impressions.

• Craft Winning Promo Materials: Create demo videos and EPKs that make talent buyers take notice.

• Refine Your Booking Strategy: Learn the insider tips and strategies to secure more bookings.

• Build Your Audience: Engage with your audience on and off stage to create a loyal fanbase that follows you from venue to venue.

Being "bookable" means mastering every part of your craft, from what happens on stage to how you present yourself to potential clients. Learn the secrets from industry insiders and boost your bookings, your pay, and your career.

Robin Creasman is not only a coach but a deeply experienced performer and entertainment industry expert with a successful track record across multiple sectors. Beginning as the lead singer of the award-winning pop/rock band Backstreet, Robin dominated the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene, named the Top Pop/Rock Band in North Texas for four years and earning two record deals. Backstreet quickly gained national exposure on Ed McMahon’s Star Search, which led to the band performing for over 70,000 fans at the KVIL Radio Summer Bash alongside Starship and Restless Heart. These early career-defining moments instilled in Robin what it takes to captivate an audience and build a thriving music career. Learn More About Robin's Music Here

Robin’s experience extends from the stage to the screen, including his role as the supervising producer of Troubadour TX, a CW Network series that aired to 44 million households weekly for four years. Overseeing artist auditions, he selected 22 standout acts each season from over 800 applicants, using his sharp instincts to identify the most "bookable" talent. Robin’s expertise as a booking consultant also helped him curate lineups for high-profile venues in Dallas and Texas Hill Country, where he coached musicians to maximize their appeal and connection with audiences.

Beyond music, Robin’s work as a performance coach spans a wide range of speakers, artists, and entertainers. He has coached over 140 keynote speakers, including 27 members of the prestigious National Speakers Hall of Fame. His appearance as the host of What Speakers Can Learn From Rockstars at the National Speakers Association (NSA) Convention in NYC—with rock legends Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, Simon Kirke of Bad Company, and David Fishof, manager of Ringo Starr—showcased the universal principles of stage presence, audience connection, and impactful performance.

As Hall of Fame Speaker Eric Chester said, “Many believe Robin's "Rockstar Panel" session was one of the best ever at an NSA convention. NSA has never had a moment like that, and it will never be equaled.” Robin’s experience in elevating performers—whether musicians, speakers, or entertainers—is a testament to his ability to teach others how to captivate and connect with audiences at the highest level.
