Not performing

Have you ever watched those "Z" movies, you know the ones that are so bad you watch because you can't believe they were even made. Well, try watching them again and this time pay attenton to the performances. Bet you know they're acting.

That is not the way it is done!

How about that speech you heard. You could tell they were following their notes, or saying the words they rehearsed with not a bit of finesse.

That is not the way it is done!

I spoke about preparation. Well, if you know your work well enough you can relax and make it natural. It really will make all the difference in the world about the way you are accepted. Think about it! Would you rather watch a movie where you can't tell the actors are acting? How about the salesman who really believes what he is saying, even if it is a 'set' speech? Don't forget the speaker who speaks with passions and confidence, hey bet you believe him/her.

The key is to perform without letting them know you are. Simple concept, but it does require work. So what do you want to be?
