For me, part of what I associate with star power is an authentic presence when on stage and also being 100% present in the role.
Cynthia Erivo once said something in this regard that resonates with me (New York Times, March 21, 2021):
"No one wants to watch someone singing analytically. No one wants to watch someone doing the notes. You learn them, you understand hem, and then you let that go so that there's a freedom for it to just move through you."
It's the difference between custom tailoring and off the rack ... both outfits may look the same from a distance, but how they fit is completely different. |
