HOW DO YOU STAND OUT IN STAND UP?

A
good study might be to look at many of the comics that have stood
out, now and in the ages. What do they have? Try to imagine what they
did to get what they have. Was it all natural? Most likely not. They
experimented and looked deep inside and began to learn to trust
themselves and played to their strengths. They discovered that rare
characteristic and amplified it. ~ I've
always felt that each true comedy talent has that one thing that will
make him/her stand out. I say 'true' comic because there are many
that just don't have it, not everybody will have that elusive
substance called talent, we have many posers and imitators these days
and people just trying it out for fun, no problem there. I'm all
about people getting a fair shot at it. However that can make it more
troubling than ever to trust your instincts and do what you know to
be right for you. People want to fit in and so you may feel
uncomfortable trying something new, something that feels right. All I
can offer is, don't be. ~ If
I can be self serving here, I might add this is where a performing
coach may assist you. There is NOTHING like an experienced eye
focused on you during performances and workouts. NOTHING. Someone
that just may see something you're missing. ~ For
the most part just keep the faith that you will find it, but remember
to do so you have to know to look. ~ After
this process and a lot of stage work you need to be in places where
you may get noticed. Bigger cities, festivals, etc. Show business is
all about forward motion, make sure you are creating that for yourself, you have that right as an artist. If you feel you're ready almost all agents
are approachable, as are most networks. ~ Before
you approach bookers/agents you need to have video and
recommendations to back you up. Network to gain that page of
impressive remarks about you and definitely get that kick ass
undeniable video that captures that unique, special, funny you. Make
it a vid that compels bookers to reach for their phone and call you! ~ If
you're for real you will never give up. Giving up isn't an option if
you are committed to stand out stand up and making it. Persist your
way to success. |
