ESSENTIAL SECRETS |
 |
| SECRET 101: PUT ON YOUR GAME FACE Remaining Calm in All Circumstances No matter what happens in a performance, you cannot allow your audience to know that you’re unhappy with your playing. You’ve got to remain neutral, showing no signs at all that anything’s wrong. Reveal nothing. Essentially, when you’re on stage you are as much an actor as a musician. The role you’re playing is an extremely confident poker player, willing to bluff whenever necessary. The good news is that your audience does not know your intentions. If something doesn’t go according to plan, the audience will never know the difference unless you give away the secret. The not-so-good news is that every nuance of your body language is in plain sight. Anytime you react to what’s happening musically—whether good or bad—your audience will notice. To work on your game face, try these virtuoso performer tricks: 1. Never stop playing. Keep going as if you meant to do whatever you just did. 2. Move in time to the music. Continue moving in time even if something goes wrong. 3. Do not roll your eyes, move your head, smile, or make a face if you mess up.
