Your stage persona

I am a totally different person on stage. I'm normally very shy and reserved. On stage I'll say things that I never would off stage. My bandmates nominated me to be the spokesperson because they said I had the "gift of gab". That's not me in real life. I hate small talk. I don't know why I do it. I guess because someone has to. Part of it is about playing, and part of it is about entertaining, and engaging with your audience. I hate bands that just stand on stage and play with no stage banter. Boring.
