Stage Presence Tips: Letting Go

Video Transcript

"Hey everyone, my name is Alex Buei, we're here on behalf of Expert Village, and we are doing a video on how to perform onstage successfully, and how to have stage presence. So right now we're talking about something here, I call it letting go, okay. Now, he had a chorus, we talked about how he needs to give - don't give too much straight away - there's some songs we just give them a little bit, then a little bit more, then a little bit more. You see those concerts where it starts with someone sitting down, then it ends with a flipping choir onstage? Guys jumping up and down, pyrotechnics, people going whoo! Crazy, right? But it didn't start that way. You got to develop it and build it. You're taking people all the way. So now what I want to do is we're going in to the killer, this is the killer, right. The last chorus, all right, coming in from the verse, all right. So I want to do that now. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah. Turn around look at me, and go inside my soul, go deep. And tell me what you see in me. No no, give them more, tell them what she really - give me it, I can't play the guitar, but yeah, turn around and look at me. Turn around you want to see, Oh no, turn around and look at me, turn around and look at me! And tell me what you see! Right? You see, what you're doing right here, is she doesn't even know how to feel. You're rocking her world, you're rocking her world, she's going to buy your CD! Because you're giving them something different. You're giving it - you're like, you're like, they start off in a oh man, this guy's cool, oh man he's intense, oh he's got passion, ohhhhh! Right? And you know, I'm not telling you to do it with every song, but at least one song you do that with, surprise the people! You give them something man, even if it means you get off the stage, you go down there and you sit right next to that girl. Don't worry about everyone else. They are loving you. Because you ain't caring. Inhibitions let go! Let go, too many people - they have this barrier still and they don't even realize it. They have this barrier, and they're not letting people in. You got to open up and let them in. Let them see your heart, and I guarantee you you will sell more CDs. Jay Leno will call you up, and you'll be on his show. All right. We'll talk to you on the other side."
