A Better Live Musical Performance through Storyboarding

Intentional Musicianship

Hello and welcome to another episode of Intentional Musicianship with Jeff Price. Today, we're diving deep into the concept of storyboarding to help musicians intentionally design impactful live performances that resonate with their audiences. If you're looking to up your live performance game, this episode is packed with tips, tricks, and insights you won't want to miss.

Storyboarding for Success

• Emphasize the need for intentional planning through storyboarding to map out the layout of a performance, including the use of stage space.

Visual Engagement

• Discuss the power of diversifying visual elements and using the entire stage to engage the audience. Advocate for recording performances and auditing them to understand how visuals are working.

Diversifying the Program

• Stress the importance of having a varied setlist and potentially using different setups or soloists to keep the audience interested.

Opportunity for Spontaneity

• Note that thorough planning doesn't restrict freedom; it actually prepares you to make the most of spontaneous moments.

Audience Engagement and ROI

• Point out that a well-thought-out show increases audience engagement and, in turn, various types of return on investment, from mailing list sign-ups to merchandise sales.
