It's the night of your gig. You've learnt your songs, you're all warmed up and you've even dressed up for the occasion. But what about those stage nerves? Or getting the audience to respond? Here's two online articles on stage mastery and rocking your crowd.
This article gives tips on getting your audience's attention and making an 'emotional connection', including:
- Breathing techniques
- Visualisation and positive thinking
- Talking to the audience and projecting your voice (not shouting!)
- Learning from other performers on stage
- Eye Contact
- Non-verbal communication: posture, presentation
- Acting lessons
If the audience still isn't responding enough, then check out this article:
