Better Stage Presence

Decent Essays
Do you ever wonder how crazy it would feel to be on stage in front of an entire crowd? Well I've discovered it for myself! Being on stage may seem a little forbidding,but that's only at first. Eventually you'll grow to love the stage life. The emotion and responses from your words and actions will leave you flabbergasted.
The surge of energy is the best part! When I'm on the stage jumping and hyping the crowd, my music is like a conduit amplifying every word i say. I love how the crowd sings a long to your music and finishes your parts for you! That is when you know you're respected!

Don't worry if you start off a little bit afraid, we all have to start from somewhere. Whether there is a thousand people or one person in the crowd

If I had the chance to take back my mistakes that day I wouldn't. I learned from those.
A step in the process of growth and improvement. With improvement comes a better stage presence, as well as better communication. Communication was key for me and will always be key in any stage event. Without communication your audience will not understand your emotion and action. Your stage presence determines the environment when you present yourself in front of an audience or crowd. The better the stage presence the more comfortable the crowd.

I could tell you myself! I've yet to master my stage presence and communication, but I have grown and matured both. Mastering the art for me is like chipping away at a stone block, sculpting. I had to find the right things, become comfortable with myself and set aside my fears and disturbances. Even then, mastering your presence is still a journey. My love for the stage and the people keep me going on my road of

    I'm sipping herbal tea while listening to my bandmate's vulnerable tenor voice being captured over an instrumental we recorded earlier in the week. This is heaven. We're in Athens, Georgia working woth with an engineer/producer we've both admired for quite some time (he's worked on some of our favorite records by some of our biggest influences). I mean, this guy's a wizard or something. I'm watching him record tracks and edit them with speeds unimaginable; and I'm listening to my partner in art deftly weave his voice and thoughts in and around the floating tapestry of rhythm and melody we co-created, and I can't help but be overtaken by a warm sense of appreciation for the dedicated mastery present in this room.…

    Concentration is key in performances as the actor should be constantly thinking like the character and not themselves, although they may think there personality is like the character you still have to show it isn't you. By looking at the audience and making them totally aware your doing it is not what a professional actor what's the achieve, although as Stanislavski said ignoring the audience isn't right either, due to them being a 'co-creator' of every performance. I believe that getting the right balance is difficult as many actors will not know wether they are paying to much attention to the audience or none at all. Stanislavski method in finding a way to get the actor sufficiently interested in something (for example, an object) on stage…

    I never expected to be interested in the backstage atmosphere of a production, however, I found myself helping my school’s drama department put on our annual Harvest King.

I was to make sure each contestant was ready to go on stage at their proper time, whether it was for on-stage question, evening wear, or talent. Keeping each boy on task was no small feat due to the fact that they were all high school age. I had never expected to find myself backstage at any kind of production, especially not my school’s boys pageant.…

    The classical music concert that I had decided to attend and observe was The Symphonic Wind Ensemble Concert, which took place Thursday, November 12, 2015, at 8:00 PM in the Enlow Concert Hall on the East Campus at Kean University. The first composition performed was entitled “Mannin Veen” by Haydn Wood; which I found to be quite similar to the second concerto performed, the “Valse Triste” by Johan Julius Christian “Jean” Sibelius; and arranged by M.L. Lake. Both consisted of a constant tempo with a slow sound and a soft beat at the beginning, which gradually got faster and louder towards the end. The third sonata was the “Symphonic Dance No. 3: "Fiesta"” by James Clifton Williams, Jr. which was quite the fête; as its intricate assortments…
