What character do you use for your performances, either close-up or on stage? Do you just play yourself as a character?

My character looks a lot like me and sounds like me, however he is much more confident( he walks up to strangers and talks to them) . We also have different names and a different wardrobe. He wears a suit. I am a jeans and tshirt kinda guy. His name is Dan mine is Joel. I feel that by putting on my costume (a suit) and referring myself by another name helps me assume the role and character I want to be. I remain in character till I get changed i.e. Before and after a gig. He has evolved over the last year and isn’t fully developed yet but he’s getting there.
I like Dan already 🙂 How is it that Dan is able to do the amazing things he does? Why is he choosing to do these things in the situations he finds himself in?

Hi Paul, thanks for answering my question. Gave me lots to think about with regards to building a character and thinking about that has altered and already added much thought to how i can present my effects. I will be ordering a couple of the books to get me started. I am also really interested in testing out your simplistic approach to tables. Joel (Dan) does scrub up well 🙂

Hi Dean, thanks for asking the question 🙂
I’m glad you’ve purchased some of the books, I try to only recommend books that I stand behind, so they should work well for you 🙂
