Visualize Your Name in a Marquee
A big part of striving towards success in entertainment is visualization. I always feel that if you can continually remind yourself how awesome you are, then it's bound to come true. The first time I saw my name on a marquee was at a club small music club right outside of Columbus, OH in a town called Dayton. Seeing my name on the marquee started a feeling of unease, as I had a severe case of imposter syndrome at 19 years old. Needless to say, At the beginning of the gig, I played to a room of 2 or 3 couples for ~45mins before everyone (except the bar staff) ran for the door. The empty room felt like a cavernous detention cell, with my over-reverbed voice cracked and creaked.
Ugh. It was devastating. I felt like I wasted the owner's energy just making the effort to put my name up.
However, the lightning spark moment of emotion I felt as I first saw my own name is something I'll never forget. It made me realize that my little growing talent banging on the keys and singing my heart out in front of people could take me on an interesting journey if I just got my crap together and learned how to entertain. It also made me realize stark visuals can impact my life profoundly. Visioning is powerful.
So, I ask you as a musical journeyman or woman to create a powerful visual of a dream venue that you would always love to play. Where have you had unforgettable experiences, and I want you to put your name on the marquee with a little AI magic.
'Create a high resolution >5mB image of a marquee sign with the name, [Insert Your Name Here], and place this marquee sign outside [Insert Your Dream Venue Here] in [City In The World]'
The image I came up with below is a powerful reminder that anything is possible with commitment. I have always felt that playing at Radio City or Carnegie Hall would be the ultimate "I made it" venues. Whether I get there or not is irrelevant. It's the Spin-Off Effect that counts.
Task 2: Share you created in ChatGPT (or your AI generator of choice), and place it your dream city comment below. For added BONUS cred, print out your image and place it on a wall right above or around your practice keyboard where you're going to see it every time you practice.
How does the image make you feel? Is it possible next year, 3, 5, or 10 years, or maybe next month?
