It’s very similar to what I do as a solo performer in live circumstances, but instead of dragging my guitar, mics, and PA to a college or book store, I can do my show remotely from my living room. As a singer-songwriter, I spend an hour per show playing my songs and talking to fans about the “behind the music” aspects of my tunes. Since I spent a few years playing in Second Life, Ustream allowed all of those people who had only seen me in avatar form to get a better idea of who I was in reality. As a performing musician, this is another way of playing for fans who wouldn’t be frequenting your local coffee shop the audience is global, and is limited only by your own abilities to promote your show. Ustream allows you to broadcast audio and video from anywhere that you have high-speed Internet. Like many Internet-based services in today’s crazy tech-savvy world, it’s also absolutely free. Formerly an exclusive aspect of live shows, the realm of high-bandwidth Internet and streaming video has progressed to the point that you can now make your own live video show that fans can access online. One of the benefits of doing live performance is giving the audience the chance to see you emote your way through your new ballad, or grimace while digging into a challenging solo. Love it or hate it, we live in a visually-oriented world.
