滿足觀眾的期望 Impressing your audience and fulfilling their expectations
如果想要在表演時吸引觀眾的眼光,歌手必須知道觀眾所期望的表現是怎樣的。演出其實就像一份合約,當觀眾花時間觀看時,你也應該給予相當質素的演出來回報他們。通常觀眾希望能透過你的演出,放鬆自己。而要做到這一點,你必須讓觀眾建立共鳴,明白歌詞想表達的意思。當你能符合觀眾期望時,觀眾便會支持及鼓勵你,讓你在台上更自信地唱歌。
Want to impress your audience when you sing? Well you first need to know your audience well! One important thing that all performers should pay attention is their eye contact and body movements. Step into the audience’ shoes - they pay for the tickets and expect to be pampered! Entertain them by interacting and communicating with them using gestures and contacts.
Think about what the audience wants when they enter that performance venue. They probably want to escape from their daily problems and hectic pace of life. They are probably looking for relaxation and enjoyment. So, rather than getting cold feet and feeling really anxious as you sing, think of yourself as a counsellor and a friend, taking your audience with you on a journey into another dimension. Ignite their passion and create soothing imageries in their minds. Make them forget the reality for the moment and de-stress in your music.
