How To Be A Better Performer
The Stage Is About Your Audience,
Connect
It’s all about the audience with
your performance and pleasing them you most as a good performer. The best way
to do this is to connect with them. How do you connect with your audience?
You’ve got to bring them into the music, maintain eye contact and let them feel
the rhythm as much as you do. Your ability to engage your audience is the
summary of your performance.
Understand The Song
The song is the script to which you
must perform. Performing a song is more like bringing the song to live hence
you have to understand the song to make the right gestures, moves and breaks.
Understanding the music helps to know what acts to put together to avoid energy
drops during performance. Thus you have got to understand the emotions of the
composer when the song was being composed as all your actions and inactions
would mean something to the audience.
Embrace The Stage
It’s the performance that you have
prepared so hard for. The stage is your field to play in. While trying to
deliver the right notes on the song, you have got to work the stage too. You
don’t want to stand like statue to a song screaming, I like to move it move it!
It begins with your facial expression and continues to the movement of your
entire body till you hit the last note.
Enjoy Yourself
Want to put up a good act on the
stage? Feel comfortable doing what you’re doing making it easy to inject some
natural touch into your performance and make your show real. So get into the
music, let the rhythm flow through and don’t be afraid to let your audience see
the passion in you.
Confidence
Confidence has everything to do with
your stage performance. The feeling that you have everything you need to
deliver a good performance is as good as the performance itself. Don’t be
afraid to step out. You must also be able to draw the line between confidence
and over-confidence.
Practice
It’s no secret that practice makes
perfect and stage performance is no exception. Simulate your performance before
the final day, you can even go ahead to make a video doing that. This will help
correct and perfect areas you need improvements. Before you know it, you’re the
stage wonder you have always dreamt to be.
