Quality of Performance

I read a great article on how to become a headliner.  Even if one doesn't become a headliner (or want to become a headliner), there are great tips in the article for improving one's quality of performance and building better acts.  The major points I'm going to try applying are:

• Keep studying the art form and related arts.
• Maintain a characterization through an entire piece, not just the snippets where it seems important.
• Keep the message the audience is supposed to get from the piece consistent.
• Push the boundaries.
• Put my own spin on everything I do.
