More Nuggets

  • Produce your own video promo
    Produce your own video promo. Get decent quality footage of a gig and edit it to make it snappy.
  • Stage persona
    Usually ‘stage persona’ is a larger than life version of you. Picture him or her and play up to it.
  • You have to go down the chute
    Before you go on stage, think about this quotation from Tina Fey, ‘You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the water slide overthinking it. You have to go down the chute’.
