Developing Confidence for Stage Performance

Video Transcript

"My name is Dave Jackal and I am going to talk to you about stage confidence. It is very important to be confident on stages. It is the most important thing you could do. Basically the audience will think that you are as good as you imagine that you are. So if you get up on stage and you look uncomfortable and you are standing around the mike and your eyes are darting around, unless it is really part of your act, you are going to look like an amateur. As soon as you get out there, make sure you are smiling. Always smile. Practice smiling as much as you cans, so that it doesn't look too fony. Because as you smile you project confidence, and people out there are going to think that you know what you are doing. For it to smile If will make you feel better. If you move around no matter how goofy you are, you are giving people to look at and they are there to be entertained. So make sure that you move around. Do stand like this when you sing.
