You should know what are the demographics (age, gender, race, music genres, etc.) your music caters to so that you can specify your target audience. Below is a compiled list of the basic categories your music performance is evaluated by:
- Sound & Production Quality: Good sound quality and high quality productions will help get you noticed by fans, record labels, booking agents and promoters. Quality influences your music career beyond the “local” music scene.
- Lyrical Ability: Today’s music has been affected by good beats and productions with horrible lyrics but the beat moves the crowd it seems like. Having lyrical ability is the quality of being able to deliver deep personal emotions and/ or observation to connect with your “target audience”.
- Originality of the Song: This is probably one of the hardest categories. It seems as though these days, everyone lives the same exact lifestyle. Money, cars, clothes, jewelry, trapping, weed, sex, hoe or moving work; I’m sorry but, everybody is not about that lifestyle. If your song has lines that people can finish and have never heard of the song before, it doesn’t show originality.
- Appearance: If you want to be an artist, you have to act, be and look like one. Very understandable that you probably spent your last on the production of the song but 80% of what you look likes matters. What you wear to the basketball court, to wash your car, to work-out in or run errands in ARE NOT the look to wear to a performance.
- Stage Presence: More people on stage DOES NOT make a better performance. The more people you have, the more you become irrelevant. There is no way possible that your hype man has more energy than you OR your hype man has less energy than you. The audience will not pay attention, especially if they have never heard of you or your song before.
- Audience Reaction
- Overall Performance-Song Appropriate
-Audience Attentive
