The end of the stage fright.

    Saludos maestro
    Me llamo Víctor Naranjo, soy eufonista y vivo en Costa Rica. Me interesa mucho saber en qué consiste su programa para perder el miedo o pánico en el escenario. Es una de las cosas más complejas de tratar en un músico.
    Agradezco de antemano su respuesta

    Gracias
