Throw me in to the lot with poor showmanship, and yet, I have a bit of an inkling of where it comes from... its 2 places actually.
The first place is within the musician, their natural personality. Being outgoing, confident and maybe a little bit of a showoff is totally half the battle. Introverts need not apply... lol.
The 2nd is a combination of things... experience, playing in front of people, having the goal of making them engage, going back and looking at the video and see what worked and what didn't, that improves on the goal. It's all about engagement, a big word with a fairly simple goal... to make the person that you are looking at, feel as if you are playing only for them. At the extreme, I was once told that it's like making musical love to the audience... lol
Now, obviously, knowing this is not helping me, my vids are not the most engaging... but I continue to work on that, though I know its mostly due to my personality as an introvert that I've been working on since childhood.
