Three Important things a musician must do for a superior performance are:
Fill in the space
Stand in front of the stage. If the musician stand 3, 4 foot behind the stage and facing sideways, it will decrease the musician’s interaction with the audience. It is important, for the musician to communicate with the audience for a powerful performance. So, where you stand and how you physically present yourself is absolutely the key to communicate with your audience and to give them the best live show possible.
Open your set strong
The first thirty seconds that you walk on the stage are crucial. To give people that first impression of who you are, the musician need to pick the best song. In that first one minute when you get on the stage, the musician has to grasp the audience’s attention. So don’t keep the best stuff at the end.
Avoid playing covers
When you sing a world famous song that everybody knows, it automatically makes your original song weak. So, start with an original song, that the musician truly feels whilst singing so, it can click to the audience.
