Performance
Without
studying a video recording of you on stage, it is extremely hard to get
an objective view of your performance, and with so many variables in
play, it can be hard to distinguish which bits are good and what needs
improving.
Friends and family who see you perform are likely to be kind and tell
you how great you are, but an honest appraisal of your performance can
point out what you do that matches your desired act and which bit may
appear unnatural or frankly naff! Simple things like eye contact with
the audience can have a big impact, but do you do it too often or not
enough? Or do you do it in such a way that intimidates them?
Ideally I would attend a gig that you are due to give and provide
detailed feedback on all aspects of your performance. Following this we
can work on the specific areas that need to be improved. For most, this
will be a formidable thought and only the brave will be up for it, but
if you can handle it, it will be one of the most nerve-wracking but
enlightening experiences of your life! Dont worry, criticism will be
constructive and gently directed and the best bit is hearing about the
things you do brilliantly already!
