Hello, my name is Sanj Surati, I am a stand-up comic, public speaker and front man for a hard rock band based in London, England. I have been performing onstage for over 25 years, have won many accolades and on countless occasions have been asked; “how come I have so much stage presence and how do I overcome nerves?” I have set up The Stage Presence Podcast to give people the skills and know how to help them to overcome their fear of getting onstage and to develop natural stage presence. I believe that stage presence is an important aspect to any live performance and public speech. Your quality of delivery and connection with the audience can be the make or break to moment for any event. This is part one of a six-part podcast and is called “Connecting with the Audience”. Enjoy
