It's essential to the arts to have people that can bring out the magic of music through their performance and pull in the attention of listeners and audiences.  An artists' manner on stage and way of presenting themselves and their performance, their methods of getting the audience's interest and attention are all powerful tools.  Presenters wishing to excel in this category can take advantage of prefacing their performance with talk, humor and interactions and any other creative means of expression and connection to empower their performance.
