Walsingham Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I hate waiting to perform. It's like slow torture, except you can't even be proud of the anguish because it shows you're tough. It just shows that you're a girly fool. Aaaargh. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just walk around enjoying the spectacle, and the more nervous you are before you go onstage, the better it will feel once you're there. What will you be doing by the way? Theatre, musical performance or playing colonel bogeys march with flatulence?

kirottu Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I still think nekkidness is the right solution to this stage thingy you This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaave Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'm with kirottu on this, nekkidness is always the solution. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy.

Walsingham Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think it should be fairly obvious that I am no-longer young enough or pretty enough to get nekkid on stage. I will be singing, and however bad it is i think it unlikely the audience will feel sick to their stomachs. This would be the ineluctable result if I got nekkid and did a little nekkid dance.

Daaave Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 You underestimate your timeless beauty Walsy, if you got on stage nekkid your performance would be a worldwide success even if you didn't actually bother singing and just stood around for five minutes.

Gorgon Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 These kinds of things have never bothered me, well singing in front of a crowd would bother me, but thats because I don't know how. Gennerally speaking though, I just don't have any shame and am ruthlessly direct in anything I do, it does come back to bite me ever so often.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 When I have to do something in front of people, my brain just clicks in 'extreme improvisation mode' which usually enables me to pull enough something out of my ass to get away with it. I think its my old class-clown habits that make it possible.

Kaftan Barlast Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Who ISNT nervous before doing something in front of people? I have this weird thing that when Im nervous I cant feel it in my head, but it goes straight to the body. So I feel normally focused mentally, but my hands will be shaking and my legs will be spaghetti. Thats not helpful when you try to play an instrument, Im not a good guitarist normally, so onstage I reach entirely new levels of ineptitude DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Walsingham Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 What you haveto understand is that if it's a question of getting in front of a couple hundred people, or even thousands of people and telling them soimething they need to know that's easy. Either it's right and all kosher or it ain't in which case don't fething do it. In this case it's bloody art, and you have to care and not ccre at the same time. I've done it now, and so far as I can make out from friends and audience I did a good job. Far from perfect, but they enjoyed it. I sang Feeling Good, and Minnie the Moocher. Both started out a bit lame, but once I found my feet I kicked a discreet quantity of ass. The audioence were all grinning and singing back top volume for minnie the moocher, even though I was improvising. If I don't change my mind I will post youtube version of me singing asap.

Gorgon Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Singing or performing is laying yourself bare in a much more fundamental fashion, I don't do either, I salute your courage.

Aristes Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've tried my hand at acting. I'm not much of one, mind you, but I do enjoy it. I'm a pretty big guy, and I have a LOUD voice. I like to sing and I warm up to most production, but even I get nervous going up on stage. Let me be clear, I hate singing in front of an audience. I hope you do post that youtube. That will be fun to see. Plus, how worried can you get? You're already quite mad. What's stagefright to the Hatter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
