How to Enjoy Yourself on Stage

Video Transcript

"ALEX BOYE: Hey everyone. My name is Alex Boye; here on behalf of Expert Village, and we are here talking about how to perform effectively on stage. I hope that the things I talked to you about made sense 'cause I've elaborated on a lot and I've got this weird English accent, but don't let that fool you. I know how to perform, I love performing on stage, and I've had experience on how to sell so many CDs, and that's what I wanted to share with you. And anyway, I don't know if you've noticed but the interesting thing is you talk to many artists, you ask them, "How long did it take you to work on your album?" They'll say, "I don't know, four months, nine months, a year." "How long did it take for you to work on your, I don't know, on your actual song, the writing of the song?" "Oh, it took me three months, took me two years," whatever. Now, I asked artists time and time again, "How long do you spend on your stage performance?" I get three days, two days, one day. I'm like, "What?!" It doesn't make sense. It's like you're working on the most ineffective things. An artist will make 95% of his revenue on stage! Did you know that? If--you're not a superstar unless you're 5% of the people in this world. You're not a superstar so I can safely say that the only way that you're going to sell your CDs is live on stage. So, why do you spend the least amount of time on stage? Okay, we need to spend more time on stage because that's where you'll sell your CDs, that's where you'll make your money, baby; that is where the money is made. Spend more time on your shows.
