Crowd Control: Becoming Charismatic on Stage

Most people don’t know that being charismatic can be learned. Stage presence can be improved and mastered. It’s not enough that a performer has the talent or the looks, what’s more important is the ability to make the audiences enjoy and stay for the rest of the show.

To become more engaged with the audience requires an entertainer who is familiar enough with his or her routine. Interaction with the crowd may naturally happen to a performer who is already comfortable with what he or she is doing onstage. Observe glam rock stars from the ‘80s. They can do whatever they want while they’re belting out a difficult song because they’re already used to it. It’s easy to be more aware of the crowd when a performer is no longer worried about the program.

Another trick to improve stage presence is to relax. This may seem hard at first, but when an entertainer thinks about having fun, this will undoubtedly lead to feeling comfortable on stage. After long hours of practicing, it’s time to trust all that preparation and just enjoy the moment. Interact with the audiences. Laugh with them, take part in their sadness, do something they will remember. Having fun is contagious. Once the audience catches on that, the performance will stop being about the performer and more about them. After all the purpose of entertainment is to give the people a real good time.
