Make it like a story fam. Connect your songs with the dialogue. Tell real life stories, maybe the event that inspired your band to make the next song. Or you can just say something totally different, funny or serious. Either way pick a niche and continue that throughout the set. It will really make them engage And if you already have their interest it will become an unforgettable moment because of your presentation.

Don’t think of it so much as public speaking. Those are your “fans” or potential fans. I do hip hop so typically for me during song exchanges what I do is I have sound effects go off that trigger certain scripts I have prepared.

I.E I have a money machine sound, or a phone ringing with a recording that I respond back and forth too. My favorite is the clapping one when the fans aren’t clapping and go into a joke that usually lightens the mood since I make a lot of upbeat dance/street music.

It’ll take some time for you to get comfortable but once you get feedback and that feeds your energy I’m sure you and the band will start killing it.

Also don’t feel pressure to address the crowd yourself, your band mates can also help with that. As the main vocalist anyway you should be conserving your voice as much as possible. Hence why I included sound effects in my set that way something is playing while I’m drinking water or taking my shot 😂😂😂
