So you think you have got ‘it’? Well do you really have the Wow-Factor?! Is the audience screaming your name after every song and every performance? Do you have a frenzy fanbase that styles their hair like yours, has every copy of your CD, asked for an autograph on their chest and follows you to every gig? Are you selling millions of albums and singles? Do you have a sell-out world-wide tour? Well, if yes is your answer, well-done and keep going. If no is your answer, keep reading and keep up!

As a singer-songwriter, know this first up. If you do not have a hit song, keep writing. How do you know you have a hit song? When you go to your first showcase and the audience stops eating, drinking, turns around and is completely memerised and immersed in you and the song you are singing...that’s when you know you have a little winnner just waiting to be discovered. If the audience ignore you, persevere and try harder to make the mark next time. The music business is all about the song. The song is a faceless voice on radio - nothing else but the song is heard, make sure it’s a hit. Song-hit knowledge does come with experience, audience participation and instinct.

Okay, so you finally write your hit song. When you are in your bedroom performing like a popstar and giving it your all - keep that feeling and that rehearsed state of mind for stage. You need to believe in you to deliver the song. If you dare step on stage with one milli-ounce of disbelief, your audience will see this, your negative nerves will eat you up alive and you’ll be mad afterwards that you did not give it your all. Rehearsal is so extremely important. If at the moment you are a solo singing-guitarist-songwriter, rehearsing alone is boring, tedious and hard-work. Correct! And did you ask what the Wow-Factor was? Well then, grab your gutso by the balls and rehearse until your neighbours complain from all the rockstar noise you’re making! Rehearse in front of a mirror; 1) it reflects what you are doing so you can work on presentation, and 2) it makes you look yourself in the eyes, this practice for you to have courage and look every person in the audience in their eyes. If in a band, practise in a circle and face each other, encourage each other to look like rockstars, anybody looking uninterested should be replaced if they will not improve. Do not waste your time on time-wasters. Rehearse until you bleed, ache and cry from exhaustion. Then rest.

Eye and mouth are the two parts of the body that the audience look at the most. If you are a female lead singer, ensure your make-up is picture perfect (enhance your eyes with eyeliner, get false eyelashes, wear super-stunning eye-shadow and avoid fire red lipstick - it’s a no-no) and dress for super stardom success. Guys in the band, make sure you’re clean; shaven, hair done, clothes ironed and smell good. Even if you’re a rockband - looking the part is everything. When walking into any venue the audience need to turn their heads, every time. Look amazing it pays off.

Okay, so you have the hit song, are rehearsed and looking hot. Now it’s time to shine. Did you tune your instrument and warm-up singing? Get to it and quick. There is nothing worse than hearing a singer not warmed up. You simply cannot start a song flat or sharp and expect the audience to still be paying any further attention two minutes later when your voice is starting to sound like it just woke up. Be ready and be prepared - there is no fast-track to fame, only the lonely road to working as a cashier in MacDonalds if you do not make it. When walking on stage, be confident and smile. A smile can warm the coldest heart and audience. Be focussed, do not chatter and joke amongst yourselves, just walk on, smile, plug in and wait for the lead singer to start the welcome and introduction.

The lead singer is the front person, he or she will speak to the audience and sing the lyrics of the song telling the story. The Female Singers or male singers also guides the band musically - normally interacting mostly with the drummer with hand gesture instructions as to when to have a solo, slow down or end a song. The drummer’s job is then communicate to the rest of the musicians as to what the plan is. If the song is rehearsed in a set structure (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus, outtro), then the drummer will just lead the musicians as rehearsed. The drummer is the person who knows the tempo and sets it from the start of each song for the band. Let them do that, do not interfere or try take over their role - and do not speak over the singer at any point - it is just plain rude and not part of stage etiquette. The role of each person on stage is to look like a superstar, sound exceptional like nothing an audience has ever heard before and be able to speak to the audience like human beings, liven them up, move them musically so they scream for more. To do this, each person in the band needs to play their instrument as rehearsed - nailing every note and beat, focus on the show - not distracted or being distracting and rock the roof right off. The guitarist, bassist and keyboard player need to have eye contact with the audience when playing and truly enjoy what they are playing. They can also mover or dance in sync from left to right, so not standing still all the time. The drummer is in motion anyway, but he or she needs to have the same focus as the band and also keep the rest of the musicians in check musically for the arrangement of each song. When each person in the band knows and does his or her job to this level - stage magic starts to unfold and the Wow-Factor appears. Do not let envious, spiteful or greedy players onto your stage, they are time-wasters and you’ll be left with the Oh-No-Factor instead.

The audience will tell you everything. If they politely clap (the golfer’s clap), say nothing or turn their head away when you look at them - it’s the Oh-No-Factor and you need to work on your performance and delivery. If the members of the audience, holler out ‘whoo’, whistle, start dancing, and clapping wildly even before you have finished, then come and find you to buy your CD - consider yourself with the Wow-Factor and it’s time to go to the next level; Grounding-Factor.To keep the Wow-Factor, the Grounding-Factor is the inner voice of instinct saying do not eat the apple.

Every time you do a performance, write a list on everything that needs to improve and work on that. It will keep you in good stead of the real goal you would like to achieve - stardorm, why because long-term a little music show here and there does not to equate to a large bank balance. You need to work consistently hard to make your dream a daily reality - there is always room for improvement. Look, do and be who you say you are on stage with passion, real love and business intelligence and you will reach your star - move on up, down is not an option.
