Becoming a Standup Comedian
So you think youre
funny? Funny enough to take
your act to the stage and on the road?
Too many aspiring comedians assume that, just because they
can keep their buddies in stitches every time they open their mouths,
getting up on stage and sending a poker-faced audience into fits of
laughter would be a piece of cake. Regrettably, the ability to make
your friends and family laugh does not necessarily translate to a
hilarious stand-up act.
There is a world of difference between telling jokes to
your buddies over beer at a downtown joint and delivering punch lines
on stage to a roomful of strangers. With the former, all you need is a
couple of jokes and an ounce of bluster. With stand-up comedy, you need
plenty of good material, excellent showmanship, impeccable comic
timing, nerves of steel, quick wit, and a healthy dose of ego. You also
need to realize that it might take years of bad gigs, unappreciative
audiences, and flat jokes before you could earn a guest spot on the
David Letterman show or have your own sitcom. Clearly, the life of a
stand-up comic is not for the faint of heart.
Still think youve got what it takes to be the next Jerry
Seinfeld or Ellen DeGeneres? If the rigors of being a stand-up comedian
do not dampen your desire to be one, you may already have the heart for
it.
A burning passion to follow your heart and instincts is
essential towards achieving success as a stand-up comedian. Once you
start to believe that making people laugh is your true calling, it
becomes difficult to resist the pull of the stage. But how do you go
about turning your stand-up dreams into reality? You can start by
studying as much as you can about the craft, from different styles of
stand-up comedy to microphone techniques. There are comedy schools and
coaches that can teach you the ropes of stand-up comedy, as well as
ebooks that provides straightforward information and no-nonsense advice
on making it as a stand-up comedian.
Before you can learn to do something, you must see first
how its done by an expert or professional. Watching stand-up comedians
perform their routines will give you an overview of all the elements
involved in an act. There are several ways by which you can study
stand-up comedians at work. You could catch live performances at comedy
clubs or watch recordings of live stand-up performances on DVD. You
could also listen to sound recordings of live stand-up acts. Late-night
talk show hosts open their shows by reciting comedy monologues that
play out like mini stand-up routines. Many talk show hosts used to be
professional stand-up comedians, so tuning in to various late-night
programs every night would be like being treated to a stand-up comedy
sampler in your living room.
What do you hope to accomplish by watching the pros do
their schtick? For one thing, its a good way to learn about how to work
the stage. You could pick up a few pointers on effective joke delivery,
comic timing, and microphone techniques. Also, you might be able to see
how the pros deal with bombing (thats when the jokes are getting few or
no laughs) and hecklers in the audience. In addition, studying the pros
will introduce you to different styles of stand-up comedy. Acquainting
yourself with different comedic styles could help you identify which
style best suits your brand of comedy.
Covering topics ranging from writing your own material to
finding coveted gigs, an amazing ebook will explain in detail what you
should do and what to expect while seeking your rightful place in this
tough business. Just go to www.TheInfoSource.com for details.
