The Being On Stage Podcast

The easiest way to get that next gig is as simple as asking for it. There are opportunities everywhere you just have to go after them.

It's inevitable. Someone will ask you what the meaning of your performance is or tell you what they think it means. How do you handle it when that happens?

Two years ago I was just getting the plan going for this podcast. Since then there are a few things that have changed and a whole lot of lessons.

Boats were not made to stay safely in the harbor. They were made to crash into the waves. Performers are no different. You were given this talent to go out and take risks, crashing into waves as you move forward.

Performers will face a lot in their journey so we have to stay extra motivated. Whether you are working towards goals, facing challenges, or just trying to move forward, motivation is powerful.

Every great performer has had a coach at some point in their career. Find a coach or mentor that focuses on building you up and challenging you to grow, someone that believes in your dreams.

Something that I learned from the Power Rangers is the importance of body movement. You can adopt this same practice on stage, while not as over-the-top as the Rangers, body movement will elevate your performance.

There are going to be times when you prepare and prepare but it the performance just doesn't match all the preparation and planning you put into it.

When a hurricane begins developing many people try to predict where its going to end up. No matter how much technology we have the predicted path continues to change. You path as a performer will do the same, change and shift until you finally make it.

Do you ever dread watching a video of a recent performance? If you want that feeling of dread to go away you must become the performer that you would look forward to watching.
