Are You Passionate or Unique Onstage?
What do you bring to the stage? Do you share your passion as you play? How do others see you, hear you, and feel you?
It is critical to be true to yourself and to share your passion with your audience. If you try to do a false act, or try to share untrue emotions through your performance, your audience will detect it and turn away. What do you bring to your audience?
In this article, you can see some raw video footage I caught of Larissa Rudeen at her house with her family. Larissa, an 18-year-old Blues Musician, plays her song, "Boss Man". She plays with passion whenever she shares her songs. And I wanted to catch her unique and focused performance on video. For Larissa, it doesn’t seem to matter where or when she plays her songs for you, she plays it with 100% focus.
Musicians... Ask yourself do you share this kind of passion when you play for others?
See Larissa in action singing her song, “Boss Man” (below). This is a no frills performance with no special lighting, sound, atmosphere, or location… Just her and her guitar.
