Description

Turn your freestyle into a performance that reads from first step to final bow. You will learn entrance mechanics—sightline, first sound, first image—to claim the space with music. Arc design modules help you structure a beginning, development, peak, and afterglow. We practice negotiating live tempo changes without panic by using breath anchors. You’ll study button types for endings: cut, melt, suspend, and blackout. Lighting and framing tips adapt living‑room setups for a stage‑like feel on camera. We include rehearsal rubrics so you can self‑score clarity, contrast, and audience focus. A bonus lesson teaches brief verbal cues for collaborating with musicians on the spot. You’ll record a single‑take showpiece and receive timestamped director’s notes. Expect a freestyle that feels intentional and stage‑ready.
