This question may seem frivolous, but I face it now as I’m no longer just a musician/songwriter – suddenly I’m a performer as well. This adds another element that I’ve never had to address before – a visual element. No longer am I just cooped up in my bedroom/studio wearing pajamas and polishing only an audio world.
Performing is an art all in itself that I’m going to need to work on. I don’t dance. In fact, I’m not even coordinated enough to play instruments standing up, so I’m sitting in a chair which isn’t exactly thrilling to watch. So right now I’m left with just trying to pour as much feeling into my songs and their delivery as I can and, of course, simply trying to look nice. There are the obvious things like washing my hair, wearing dresses, and putting on a little make-up, but there’s a lot more to it that I’m going to have to put some thought into.
