Crowd/audience Reaction Techniques


Recommended Posts

While ive been in Greece, Ive got several gigs under my belt, Its a totally different crowd to the UK for obvious reasons.

 

Now during the evening i often get everyone to raise the glasses and shout Yammas ( Greek for Cheers )

 

Nice and Cheesy and everyone joins in.

 

Others ive used is

 

Ogy ogy ogy ( oi oi oi ) etc

 

And

 

Umpa Lumpa stick it up your jumper ( I must be mad for that one )

 

Can anyone else think of anymore?

 

Obviously if you wish, feel free to PM me instead!

1st of all thanks Jim for putting Matt out of :wacko:

 

To answer the question above though - I use anything and everything to get the crowd involved. Now admittedly I don't use them that often but they are all options and they all work when in a tight spot and you need something to relay to the audience 'This is a party'.

 

Having said that though they all work equally well with an audience who are already in the party mood.

 

My philosophy is 'get them dancing and they'll have a good time - get them dancing and singing, they'll have an even better time' - if they wake up the next day with aching feet they'll remember the night. If they wake up with aching feet and a sore throat they'll remember me smile icon

 

PS for the 1st clip I would use the Hermes House Band, for the 2nd it's late (early) and I'll have to come back on that - there is an Irish connection though, for the 3rd Zutons or Mark Ronson ft Amy Winehouse

Not lame at all, Different people use different techniques to keep the night active etc. ( are you still singing when a child is born on karaoke nic?)

 

Living in Greece and Working here, entertaining all these people everynight, i need something a little different. And everyone enjoys it.

On the audience participation point, I'm sure you do it yourself, like when you cut the volume on Amirillo, Hey Baby, New York New York, etc....

and for those "sing-along" moments in Ghostbusters and Baltimora's Tarzan Boy I might even go into the crowd with a "roving mic" and stick it in party-people's faces :joe:

 

I have even considered, but NOT actually done it yet, making up hold-up signs for Otzi's Hey Baby.

Y'know how it goes, when they are in full party mode: "He-e-e-e-y Baby . . (b o o b s!) . . . (a s s !) . . . I wanna know-o-o . .

 

Jeez, what a sad old git eh? tongue out icon
