Between songs template
A musician’s stage patter — planned once, so the set breathes. Duplicate per song. This is the shape that works — 5 sections in the order the room expects them, each with a hint for what belongs inside. Fill it with your own words and the speech carries itself.
00:01The structure
5 sections, in this order.
-
01
Opening
Who you are and where you are — the room’s name out loud, then straight into song one
-
02
Story
Where this next song came from. One image, not the whole history
-
03
Moment
The one thing you want them to do: sing this line, come closer, put the phones down
-
04
Point
The practical bit — merch, the next gig, who else is playing. Say it once, warmly
-
05
Closing
Name the last song before you play it, and thank the room by name
00:02In the app
From outline to on time.
Every section gets a time, and the total tells you whether you will fit your slot. You write your lines directly inside each block, so the words and the shape never drift apart.
When it is time to deliver, the same outline becomes full-screen cue cards with a stage clock, or a teleprompter that follows the pace you planned.
