Prepare a Live Video That Reassures Bookers

A strong live video is worth more than 100 messages.

Bookers want to see what you look like onstage.
One good live video can be enough to secure shows.


🎥 1. Prioritize authenticity

Bookers look for:

  • vocal accuracy
  • stage presence
  • audience connection
  • real performance energy

No need for a music video — a clean live capture is best.


📸 2. Record it properly

Even simple footage must respect the basics:

  • stable framing
  • good lighting
  • clear audio
  • no clipping

A good smartphone is enough if used well.


🧱 3. Choose a representative track

Not too long, not too technical — just a strong, emblematic song.


🌟 4. Add a short text intro

Not in the video, but in the presskit:

  • venue
  • date
  • context
  • creative intention

👉 BandCopilot embeds your video cleanly

🧠 5. One strong video beats ten average ones

Bookers prefer one solid performance over many mediocre clips.
