Continuing my series on WHAT MAKES FOR SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE? I'm covering Connection with the Audience this week.
1. Connection with the Audience begins at a physical but subliminal level. It has often been described as the performer’s “presence”.
2. The research is that approx 65% of our initial impact is dictated by appearance. What we say & how we sound comes a poor 2nd & 3rd!
3. Subliminal signals are sent by such things as eye contact, posture, body language & attire; all part of our Connection with the Audience.
4. An audience will feel secure with a strong and comfortable presence from the Performer, & will be more ready to engage with that Performer.
5. Once initial Connection is established, the emphasis changes to what & how we are Singing. In other words, Communication & Interpretation.
