Using Cues: Don’t Wing It!
I just returned from an AWESOME three week trip to Australia.
I experienced a stunning amount of music at the WOMAD Festival (pictured), in clubs, at my workshop and at the Fringe Festival. There were artists of all types: from one guy with a guitar to a group of twelve people on stage and musical styles from around the world including rock, pop, electronica, blues and many other genres.
When it came to performing, I was particularly struck by the similarities between the artists. Some were in front of twenty people and some were in front of ten thousand people. The one thing I noticed about all of them was how they wanted the audience to respond in certain ways, but the artists didn’t know how to get the response they wanted.
