Stage Presence

How will you present yourself on stage? Dress, interact with the audience and ensure your performance is engaging.
- I haven't got much stage presence so to help me improve my confidence I have signed up for a Red Nose Day Karaoke, this allows me to feel how it will be like performing on my own and will help me understand what I need to improve in the next week. For Come What May I need to be able to make the feel audience feel connect with the song. To do this I need to be able to show my emotion through the song. The song is very powerful because of the lyrics  so I need to try sing it as if i was singing it to a specific person instead of a large audience. it is a heart filled song, so i need to be able to connect with the audience, which means I need to make a lot of eye contact with the audience so they can see that I mean every word I am singing. I need to believe my own performance otherwise the audience won't believe it either.  For What Doesn't Kill You I also need to believe the song. The lyrics are also powerful, however because the song is more upbeat i will be able to move more maybe a little side step so the audience can see they can have more fun with this song. I would keep the mic on the stand however, because it makes me more uncomfortable if i don't have the mic stand. I usually hold onto the mic stand as i sing because it calms me down, and stops my legs from shaking. For this song I would also try and smile more as the song is showing the audience how strong I am, so I need to show them by having a good time whilst singing the song. Many people know the song, so I will ask them at the beginning to join in if they know it. This shows me that they are enjoying it, if they choose to sing along with me. I wouldn't do this with Come What May however, because it is a serious song.
