9 things I learned from Jacob Collier about how to get a crowd engaged. (that can be used in many situations)
I saw yesterday the live performance of Jacob Collier at the Olympia (Paris).
Jacob is a musician and singer. He has immense talent.
I had never seen an audience come out and continue singing acapella in the corridors leading to the exit.
The audience was completely energetic.
Being able to convey energy is a unique skill these days.
What does Jacob do to have such infectious energy?
1. He uses his body and changes rhythm often
0
He runs, leaps, jumps, raises his arms.
2. He switches from one instrument to another very quickly.
0
3. He often talks to the audience and tells stories.
0
Why he wrote the song, where he was at the time, how he felt.
4. He makes people laugh (still with stories)
0
5. He gives incredible credit to his musicians and crew.
0
6. He gets the audience involved by asking them to sing.
0
7. He asks things of his audience (always using stories)
0
Do not use your phone for this song. Refocus on yourself.
8. He gives 100% of himself.
0
9. He stays himself
0
He stays very natural.
