English:
Every week Jason Mraz takes 12 from the thousands of twitters questions and answers them in blogger. this time, one of the answered questions was mine .You can check it :
Performance Tips:
FIRSTLY: When asking a question, always end your sentences with the proper curvy punctuation mark. It lets the reader know that an answer is required of them. Luckily, I’m ahead of the curve and made sense of it.
SECONDLY: As you meditate on your upcoming show, remember that everything is riding on that one gig. Simply, Try not to blow it.
THEN: Prepare by Taking a Shower and Brushing Your teeth – Realize that your mouth is an instrument. Even if you’re just playing the drums, assume people are going to want to talk to you. There used to be a phrase in the business, “never let ‘em see you sweat.” Try covering your whole body in antiperspirant.
AND: Wear something nice. These days in music, it’s all about looking good. Anyone can write and perform music, but not everyone looks good doing it. The visual vibe of your performance should create a powerful space. If someone were deaf and walked into your show, they should think they’ve happened upon a wedding or a funeral, something fancy like, that only happens once or twice in a person’s life.
MAYBE: Change your name. I don’t know what your last name is, but it probably isn’t catchy enough. Take out some vowels, take the name of a foreign automobile, or just use your first name after you change that too.
FURTHERMORE: Don’t bore the audience with technical jargon or the telling of too many stories about the songs (stories are OK, just let the songs have their own poetics and punchlines separate from yours.)
FURTHERMOST: Don’t ever apologize to the audience. Welcome any sound-issues or tuning problems as the “way it is” and play on! The audience doesn’t care about how bad your monitor mix is or that you could use more reverb. Just be your naturally grateful self inviting the listener to “try-on” what it is you love about life.
LASTLY: Believe only some of my advice. And let that be for all the wisdom you’ll be sold along the way. Trust your instincts and be your own man. It’s really that easy. Have fun. And Good Luck. '
