Walking on to the stage is a powerful moment. All eyes on you.
Maybe you say something right away, maybe you’re the type who waits till after the second song to say anything.
But for your first line to be “Hey, how ya doin?” is a waste of a first line.
Why do you say that? What’s the point?
Say something that contributes to the night.
Say something half ways unique…articulately, clearly into the microphone.
It doesn’t have to be prolific or deep or funny or witty, it just needs to have purpose. And your purpose is unique.
A first line is an amazing opportunity.
An opportunity that you have at each and every show.
Do something with it.
