Most of my career has been about standing on a stage performing music to an audience, and once the show is over, they go home and I go on to the next show.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do most of my work on the stage, and typically once the show is over, it's over.
I've spent a long time learning my way around a stage as an actor, but this I don't know as well. Humbly, I'm excited to get with a band and perform regularly as an artist and see what I can learn and how I can grow in that space.
I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
To be honest, I don't know really what I do on stage.
I was a musician for years before I started doing this stuff. Show business was the only thing I ever considered.
I used to really want to go on the stage and then the last couple of years I've done some presenting at some award shows. I was so nervous I thought I was going to be sick, so I don't think me on stage for any length of time would work too well.
There has to be an interaction of musicians on stage. Otherwise I feel too alone up there. When performing is really good, when it really works, maybe once every 15 shows, it's very special, and you realize that's why you do it.
I don't do anything specific for the stage. I'm just myself. I can't stand still for five seconds. I'm normally quite active, so that just comes out on stage. If I see people react to me and my music, I just have to give back and express myself.
I do an improv show on Sunday where we have a class, and then afterwards we go and do a live performance in front of an audience.
I'm a singer and performer in a hybrid show that's standup, music and audience participation.
