The day before a performance is always a busy one for me. There's outfit shopping and general preparation for the show. Appearance is a good portion of how you are viewed by your fans and potential fans, so finding an outfit that is fresh and noticeable is key. I always start with the shoes. Picking the shoes I am going to where helps me place an image in my head of what I am looking for. Next, I pick the color shirt I want to accent with the shoes. The shirt should be used as a representation of who you are, therefore, promoting you as a performer. I usually have my performance shirts custom made with my label and name, along with twitter info. Gotta love twitter!!! Then depending on how I am feeling, I may accesorize. I accesories range from hats, to watches, to anything else that I think stands out or looks appealing. There you have, all done with the outfit part of the day.
The next part of the day consists of going over show mixes for the performance. This is just a fail safe plan for not having a cd at the performance that does not play your music. I like to go over movements that would possible look good on stage also, along with, finalizing times that me and the group would meet up tomorrow.
Next, I relax. This can be accomplished in a number of different ways. Mostly, I just do something I enjoy doing followed by a good nights rest. And there you have it. I am now ready for the big day. I'm always thinking of ways to make my performances better though. I look at what I think makes a performance great and I integrate it into my own personal routine best I can.
What do you all think makes a performance good and memorable? I leave this question for you all. I hope to hear you opinions/comments. Until next time, Peace!!!
