Every performer has good days and bad days. It’s par for the course. However, the goal of any superstar or rising star, is that even on bad days, you still can rock the stage.
And that’s a tall order when your voice punks out on you, or you’ve got personal stuff to deal with, or maybe your label just dropped you ~ sigh. But you still have to go put on a show, no matter what. That’s the life of a performer.
So, how do you still strut the stage when you’re underwhelmed yourself? You gotta have a few tricks up your sleeve. Don’t worry, Mama’s got you covered. I’ve been in the trenches with artists over the past 3 decades, and have some handy solutions for pretty much every possible scenario. Besides my coveted list of natural remedies to recover your vocal health in a matter of seconds (find out more about all of that in my Vocal Road Warrior free 3-part series here)… knowing a thing or two about how to mesmerize your audience, when you’re out of sorts, is probably the most important thing you do as a performer. It’s not as easy as it looks, especially if like most performers… you’re an introvert. Boom. How did Mama know? Yep, most artists are the introverted sensitive types. That’s how you write such killer songs that we all relate to. But when you’re on stage — Bam. You come alive.
But performing is not about you ~ it’s about them. Your audience. To be on point every night, don’t focus on perfection, stay in the present moment, give yourself fully and be with your audience.
