Here is an interesting articlewhich came to menot too long ago and IthoughtI wouldshow myresults. Free Backstage Passes, abook by Ryan Even. This book made me giggle a small bit to myself thoughafter going over it a while Irealized that as a musician myself, therejust happens to be specific codes and conducts that starslike tolive by. This handbook talks exactly about these practices and behaviors whichsegregate theadmirer from the star and how Even believes any fan, presented with the right circumstances, can tear down this barrier.
I'veplayed ina number ofbig venues around the country as a professional musician, and also been to many concerts as anlistener. i've additionally been to several rock performances and played my many concerts with aband Itravelled with a few years back. As a professional musician I realize that there are special barriers between entertainers and fans. The barricade exists for thecomfort of the entertainers and their instruments or supplies. As an example, some violins just happens to be valued at millions of dollars. You don't want just anyone close to that instrument. In pop music, there really are millions of fans that wish for the chance to be introduced to an artist, and there really are bound to be acouple crazies in that mass. Safety is hugely crucial for entertainers. One more justification which the barricade is there is that the act of performing music is greatly emotionally and physically exhausting. Musicians do not desire to be bothered prior to a performance and following, they just are exhausted. Trying to connect to the public during those circumstances are not optimal by any means. I do not believe a number of people understand that concept. You would not want to pester Picasso during his artwork... The same goes for the act of performing entertainers.
That being stated, there really are ways throughout the system. countless popular concert halls always have 2 entrances, one door for the audience, one for the performers. The one for the listeners has fanstaking tickets, the one for the entertainers has security, at times really strict security. i've been to venues in which one has to share an identification just toget 'buzzed in.' Other concert halls just happens to be not strict by any means. but here is in which the famous Backstage Passcomes in helpful.
In his book, Free Backstage Passes, Even discusses during long length how to go about getting a backstage pass. Obtaining access to backstage is genuinely not as hard as the media tells one it is. It just is just a matter of talking to the correct people during 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. which comes from one more professional musician. But, if you talk to the incorrect people, or anyone in the wrong way, especially at the incorrect time, doors will shut 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 just are the 3 popular secrets this book discloses about. Is it going to work 100% of the time, probably not. although even if it doesn't, you'll get some great insight to what's going on behind the scenes during a production.
The other column Free Backstage Passes talks about is what to do and how to act when you get yours. This is really as important as obtaining one. When entertainers happens to be getting ready toperform, they do not desire to be annoyed, so if you go beat on their door, you're going to get kicked out. If you get in the way, you are 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, realize in which it's ok to be and stay out of the way, one just might get the chance to rub elbows with some pretty essential people. So how do you realize where to be is ok and where isn't? Well you can either be in the entertainment industry for a long time and learn by experience, or read this book. Free Backstage Passes goes into detail about the different types of passes and what they all mean. It discloses about where one can go, what one can do and how you should act. The biggest tip in this section is to simply have confidence. As an example: An entertainment artist being backstage is confident about in which they just happens to be at because they know 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 just are looking for something and don't belong.
As this handbook talks 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 see musicians just by being confident. Confidence does come with a sense of knowledge however, and clutching that knowledge and insight has to come from somewhere.
If you just are the type of person that consistently wanted to get backstage though never knew how, this handbook might be for you. If you just happens to be musician, it might be a bore because most of this stuff you understand already.
