    Eye contact is huge. I saw you guys in Cincinnati twice, and after crowd surfing at the second concert, you were leaning over on the ego riser and doing a guttural, and I saw you stare me down and follow me off to the side of the barricade, and it pumped me up so much. You're a huge inspiration, man!

    @shouldnotseeme 10 років тому +3

    Dude, I cannot emphasize how helpful you are being and I would also like to add that in my opinion you are the nicest guy in the whole metal 'scene'. I mean, this video plus your guttural demonstrations and vocal tips are something unique, and shows that you are willing to share your secrets with all of us, who are on the other side of the fence, dreaming about being in your shoes.
    I watch your guttural demonstration every day in order to motivate myself and practice.
    Thank you.

    Dude, I could not agree more with the things you said. Especially the (what I refer to as) "ego box" I noticed my personal stage presence go way up over that one thing, and some other members of the band will walk up to it and put their foot on it to add alittle to their own presence.. Great video man!

  • @offbeatturok0
    @offbeatturok0 11 років тому +1

    I'm a drummer, and have only played a few live shows, but a lot of these tips can be helpful for every musician in the band. Sitting behind the drums, you'd think there's not much presence that could be emphasized besides headbanging, but the movement really matters. It makes it a lot more entertaining to watch when all the musicians have energy and movement on stage, and you can hear it in the music when they're putting 100% into playing and having fun.

    • @screamerboy100
      @screamerboy100 10 років тому +5

      Tip for you then. Don't limit yourself to just your friends. Make acquaintances with people you know that you know can play and talk to them about it. Chances are if they're a musician, they're looking to start a group. I didn't know half of my band when we started and we're pretty tight with only a few practice sessions.

I'm always awkwardly trying to find something to put my foot up on on stage and i always try to make myself look taller and like i'm the centre of attention so i really need something to help, much respect for explaining about Ego Risers! Definitely copping one!

  • @chrisbryson5720
    @chrisbryson5720 10 років тому +1

    Actually, one thing I don't think you covered is during an instrumental/solo, I found it does the band good to turn and give them some eye contact. Make sure they're enjoying it and make sure they know you're enjoying it. It really shows trough to a crowd when the whole band is lovin' it.

  • @jessiewalker6918
    @jessiewalker6918 5 років тому +1

    Eye contact is one of the things I need to work on the most, when my band plays shows I have a tendency to close my eyes when I'm singing, I rarely make eye contact with anyone, only between songs, thanks for the pointers

    It really makes sense about the whole pacing around thing. We have videos of our first show on here and our vocalist claims to have been "not nervous at all," but he was pacing around the whole time and it just looks funny. Gotta film our next show after these tips and see if the stage presence has improved. Keep up the good work Phil, quality stuff man.

    It's amazing. We had our first gig last Saturday, me being frontman, and I'd consider myself rather shy as well. But the second I stepped on that stage it was like I was another man. Those tips really helped. I hope the next gig is on soon and I'll be able to try out more.
    I probably won't try that ego riser thing. Considering I'd most likely hit my head on the ceiling then.. lol

I sing for a soul band so I looked at James Brown, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave etc. But these tips fit perfectly for any singer I think. I was gonna add that if you see something to climb, climb it! But you covered that, haha! For some reason people love to see you up high, it's entertaining I guess.

    I really don't care about being a better showman (I'm the fucking drummer, the most irrelevant member or the band after the bassist (unless you're Victor Wooten or Alex Webster)) but this is very interesting, especially because it's explained by Phil Bozeman :D

    • @resurecter6667
      @resurecter6667 10 років тому +4

      I agree with what you said about this cause its awesome and I am actually a frontman so maybe im wrong here, but I was actually the bassist in my old band and my current drummer and I are best friends. If theres one thing ik is that no one in a band is irrelevant. You cant do a show without a singer anymore than you can without a drummer or a bassist or a guitarist. You need everyone to provide the same sound onstage that you do in the studio. So not trying to start an argument with you im just saying that you should have some pride because people like drummers and bassists don't get a lot of the glory outside of the band but they sure as hell get it from inside :)

    Vocal tips don't mean much to me since I'm always looking up things, but these frontman tips are GREAT and something that'll really pay off when my band starts doing shows. Keep up the great vids!
