    Sincerity ......... If you can fake that, you've got it made.

      I can't even show sincerity when I'm sincere. God damn it.

    The title of this video is VERY misleading. If you're going to perform in front of an audience, whether its spoken word, singing, acting - private rehearsal (LOTS OF IT) is essential to honing your craft, instilling confidence and giving you a sense of self.
    Now, what she says about "real moments" is true, BUT the reason on actor on that stage panics when the glass is knocked over is BECAUSE they are so well rehearsed. Her basic premise is - make mistakes in your presentation because that lends credibility to the performance. While that is true, it shouldn't be a goal.
    Preparation and spontaneity go hand in hand. Prepare enough so you know your material but leave room for improvisation. This way is if your improve goes off the rails, you have what you prepared well to fall back on.

      The title of the video is "Tips on Stage Performance." It is not "Rehearsal Doesn't Matter."

    I think this is a really good idea and realize that natural speakers like Gary Vaynerchuck do it often throughout their delivery. However, it's not foolproof because I've also watched many TED talks where the speakers use this same trick at the beginning of their talk and then immediately pivot to the vacuum and it's palpable

    From what I heard, it seemed like to show that we’re present and aware of the environment were performing in, we have to freestyle our poem.

    • @MrKingcarella23
      @MrKingcarella23 Před 6 lety +1

      I’m trying to understand the process of showing that we’re aware of the audience we’re speaking to because sometimes we might not know exactly who the audience will be.

    Connecting with the audience is the difference between a show and a great show

    For a channel who thinks so big, how nobody saw yet that the thumbnail text is always under the timestamp?

    • @paramoreguate
      @paramoreguate Před 8 lety +4

      What if is a new type of clickbait? They leave you with the question "What does it say on the timestamp?"
