Working on Broadening My Stage Presence

By Chuck Billy's Blog,

I’ve been thinking a lot about yesterday’s post. My manager Llily Llama and producer Philip Sloth are correct, I need to increase my stage presence and broaden my appeal if I’m ever going to be a rock star. In the book Heavy Metal: A Cultural Sociology, Deena Weinstein talked about the importance of having a distinctive sound. That got me thinking, what am I known for now? “Baby Shark!” Why not expand that to include ALL sharks? I could do a Shark Awareness concert!

Posing for publicity photos.

I even found the perfect venue! Plenty of room for a large audience, AND a kitchen to make snacks. Oh and there’s a broom closet that can serve as a backstage area to use as my dressing room.

Even Angel Chuck Billy would approve! This is the perfect venue for a stress eater, tour manager, who insisted on dinner being served at 5:00 PM!

And just look at my stage presence as I walk out to (hopefully) cheering fan(s)!

Imagining the audience chanting my name as I practice concentrating on walking out on stage.

This is perfect! Well except for the fact that Crescent Beach State Park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine doesn’t allow dogs from April 1st to September 30th, and it is way too cold, snowy, and windy to do an outdoor concert in February. But hey, that’s why I have manager Llily Llama and producer Philip Sloth to figure out these things!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rehearse singing “Baby Shark” to a tune of the Jaws Theme.
