Aesthetics, practice and performance are what make up a good look on a stage.You want to engage with the audience while looking the part.It can be difficult to feel relaxed for the stage, but being prepared can help.You will be able to dazzle the crowd with some work on your inner and outer self.
Step 1: Don't be afraid to practice your craft.
You should know what you are doing on stage.Practice acting if you are an actor.Practice your music if you are a musician.It will show if you put in the hard work.You should know the words to the lines you are speaking.Don't forget the lyrics to the songs you'll be singing.Make sure you memorize the music if you play an instrument.
Step 2: There is inspiration from great performers.
You can watch performance videos of artists.Look at their mannerisms.Try to figure out if their presence is effective when they do something that makes you happy.Is the artist believable?Why do you think so?The performer shows emotional attachment to the lyrics, music or dialogue.
Step 3: Before you go on stage, make sure to breathe.
This is a way to relax.Take deep breaths.Think about your breathing and calming your body down one part at a time as you inhale and exhale.
Step 4: Think well.
Negative thinking can affect your self confidence.You can bounce back if you make a mistake.You should be happy with who you are.You have talent because you are going on stage.If a negative thought arises, counter it with a positiveAffirmation like "I will be successful."
Step 5: Eat and work out.
Make sure you eat before your performance.If you have pasta or rice, it is easy to digest.Try stretching or running before you perform to relieve stress.
Step 6: You should meditate on the day of your performance.
This is a great way to relax.There is a quiet place.Imagine that you are in a nice place.If you want to clear your mind, focus on your inner calm.It is possible to improve focus and ease anxiety by meditating before a performance.Try humming and playing music.
Step 7: Don't wait until the last minute to show up early.
You can use this strategy to ward off stage fright.It is better to be prepared.It is easier to feel in control when the audience is slowly filling up, rather than when there is already a crowd.If you don't know where you are on the stage, you will appear unsure when you make your entrance.
Step 8: There are colors that contrast the backdrop.
You don't want to be seen in the background.If you want to wear an opposite shade, try to find out what color it will be.Bring multiple outfit choices if you can't find the backdrop color.Unless you are certain that the backdrop will be light, don't wear black.
Step 9: It's a good idea to select flattering clothing.
You don't want to detract from your performance if you wear something with visual interest.If you want to wear a piece of clothing that shimmers, stick to one piece.Don't wear pantyhose with a sheen.The stage lights reflect off your legs and make them bigger than they are.
Step 10: Dress in a different way than the audience.
Dressing up for your audience is a good idea.If you expect your audience to dress casually, you should change your look to business casual.If you don't know how your audience will dress, you may want to bring a backup outfit.
Step 11: For comfort wear a dress.
You don't want to look or feel uncomfortable in what you're wearing as you move around on stage.As you choose your outfits, think about preventing sweaty underarms.The stage lights can accentuate perspiration on your clothing.
Step 12: You should wear makeup.
Depending on what type of performance it is, you may or may not want to apply makeup.Stage makeup should be twice as dark as normal makeup.Liquid foundation and setting powder can be used for males and females.Wear blush and apply makeup to your face.Use eyeliner and eyeshadow as you please.The heavy makeup is great under the stage lights.A neutral lip color is a good choice for females who want to stand out.Dark circles under-eye circles can be created by wearing a lot of black eyeliner.If you don't apply a heavy foundation and nothing else, you will appear pale.
Step 13: Cultivate your image.
Stay away from trends and stick to timeless pieces.From event to event, keep your look consistent.If you are in a band, get the band together and come up with a theme or color scheme that everyone will stick to.Pick patterns, patches, jewelry, or other accessories that are specific to you.The entire band should be dressed for the spotlight, not just the lead singer.
Step 14: Good posture is needed on the stage.
Stand up straight and strong.This will make you look professional and confident.Keep your arms at your sides if you don't have an instrument or prop.Keep your head and chest open.
Step 15: You should breathe deeply but naturally.
Your nervous system responds to shallow, rapid breathing.The opposite reaction can be stimulated by controlling your breathing.Take your time.Match the pace of your actions with your calm, regular breathing.
Step 16: The pressure should be taken out of your opening line.
If you will be speaking or singing on stage, it is a good idea to ask yourself a question in your mind that your opening line answers.Imagine that someone has asked you a question, and you have an opening line.If you are going to perform the song "America The Beautiful", you should ask yourself "Whose land is this?" and then start singing the opening line.
Step 17: Positive body language and facial expressions can be used.
When you smile, feel happy and sincere.People can tell a fake smile from a real one.You don't want photos of yourself smiling.To smile naturally, match your expression to your emotions.If you want your facial expressions to reflect the right emotions, get into your performance.The way people view your performance can be improved by this, as can the way they listen to it.Keeping your body language in tune with your performance will project your emotions.If you are expressing genuineness, you might hold your hand over your heart.If you are welcoming, you could gesture with your arms in the air and give someone a hug.
Step 18: Don't be sleepy.
Whatever you are doing on stage, do it.Think about the people in the last row of the venue and how much energy is required to reach them.Keep in mind the meaning behind your performance piece, so that your energy matches it without being too little or too much.Imagine that you are singing to someone in the last row.Use sweeping gestures to project your voice.You want to be active, but not restless.
Step 19: Represent the crowd.
You need to work on your stage presence.You don't want to look at the floor or close your eyes during your performance.If you can see them, make eye contact with them.If the stage lights are so bright that you can't see the audience, look in their direction.Do not stay in one place if you don't have to.The front of the stage is closer to the audience.The mindset that you are pleased to see your audience is what you should use to face them.You want them to feel appreciated, because they showed up for the performance.
Step 20: You should notice where the cameras are.
You can incorporate subtle poses into your performance if you know where the photographers are.Give the photographer a glance, wink, smile or pose for several seconds at a time while you look at him.The rest of your audience shouldn't know that you're doing it.You don't want the crowd to know you're mugging for the cameras.As possible, do this naturally and subtly.
