Here is an intriguing itemthat came to methe other day and IthoughtI shoulddisplay myresults. Free Backstage Passes, abook by Ryan Even. This idea forced me to laugh a little to myself thoughafter thinking about it for a while Irealized that as a professional myself, therereally are certain codes and behaviors that entertainerssort oftake for granted. This handbook talks in detail about these practices and behaviors whichcompartmentalize theadmirer from the entertainer and how Even believes any fan, in the right circumstances, can break down this barricade.
I'veperformed inmanywell known performance halls throughout the world as a musician, and also been to many concerts as aaudience member. i have additionally been to several rock ones and performed my several concerts with aband Itravelled with a few years ago. As a musician I understand that there just are specific walls inbetween performers and fans. The wall is there for thesafety of the entertainers and their stuff or gear. As an example, some violins really are worth millions of dollars. You don't want just anyone close to that instrument. In the case of pop music, there are millions of people that wish for the chance to be introduced to an artist, and there are bound to be acouple crazies in that lot. Security is extremely essential for musicians. Another reason that the barricade is there is that the act of performing music is greatly emotionally and physically exhausting. Entertainers don't want distractions prior to a show and later, they just are exhausted. Trying to connect to the public at those circumstances aren't optimal by any means. I do not think a number of fans know that concept. One wouldn't want to bug Picasso during his artwork... The same goes for the act of performing musicians.
That being said, there are ways around the system. a number of big concert halls continually have 2 ways in, one door for the audience, one for the musicians. The one door for the audience has fanscharging admission, the one door for the performers has security, often really strict bouncers. i've been to halls where you have to share a picture ID just toget 'buzzed in.' Other venues really are not strict at all. although this is where the coveted Backstage Passbecomes handy.
In his handbook, Free Backstage Passes, Even discusses during great measure how to go about clutching a backstage pass. Getting admission to backstage is genuinely not as hard as the media tells one it is. It just is just a matter of speaking to the correct people at the correct time. If you soeaj to the right people in the correct way during the right time, you can pretty much get away with anything in the music business. that comes from another musician. But, if you talk to the incorrect people, or anyone in the wrong way, especially in the middle of the incorrect time, doors will slam in your face faster than one can imagine. So, who do you talk to? When's the right time to talk to them? How should one go about asking for freebies and not sound like you're asking for a handout? Those happens to be the 3 popular secrets this book discloses about. Is it going to work 100% of the time, probably not. however even if it doesn't, you'll get some great insight to what's going on behind the scenes in the middle of a show.
The other thing Free Backstage Passes discloses about is what to do and how to act when you get yours. This is really as essential as gaining one. When musicians just are getting ready togo on stage, they do not want to be bothered, so if you go knock on their door, you are going to get kicked out. If you get in the way, you're going to get kicked out. If you ask questions or end up in the wrong place, you're going to get kicked out. But, if you have confidence, know where it's ok to be and stay out of the way, you just might get the chance to rub elbows with some pretty valuable people. So how do you realize where to be is ok and where isn't? Well one can either be in the entertainment industry for a great time and learn by experience, or read this handbook. Free Backstage Passes goes into detail about the different types of passes and what they all mean. It discusses about where one can go, what you can do and how one should act. The biggest tip in this section is to simply have confidence. As an example: A professional being backstage is confident about where they happens to be at because they understand it's their job to go on stage. An admirer though, once they get beyond the bouncers is curious, and it is completely obvious they are looking for something and don't belong.
As this handbook discloses about, confidence is the major key to being backstage. Even as an audience member i've been able to get backstage without a pass to congratulate and be introduced to performers really by being confident. Confidence does come with a sense of knowledge however, and getting that knowledge and insight has to come from somewhere.
If you are the type of person which continually wanted to get backstage although never knew how, this book might be for you. If you happens to be musician, it might be a bore because most of this stuff you realize already.
But, there is a 60 day money back guarantee, so if you get it, try it out a few times and it doesn't work, send it back. If you get it and it does work, then you did not waste your money.
