Although it might seem like an obvious metric for success, a muscular body and beautiful face isn’t all it takes to make a successful male stripper. Success in the world of male stripping is actually more about a combined series of factors that amount to something truly special, and through mastery – or at least acknowledgement – of these, a male stripper is much more likely to find they’re not only making more money, but having a better time. In this article, we demonstrate a few of these points to ensure you get a better understanding of what being a male stripper is all about.
Where to start as a male stripper
If you have already been taking note in male strippers in Brisbane, you should know that the bar is already set quite high. If you’re not sure how to join their ranks, the best place to start is by assessing your look. Although having a toned body is going to be looked at favourably, you shouldn’t just assume that you need to become a beefcake to become a good male stripper. Many of the best male strippers actually diverge from this, and appeal to specific and niche crowds. As men aren’t attracted to one kind of woman, women don’t necessarily want a generic guy – gauge the audience by researching what’s out there and what will suit your body type and looks, rather than feeling the need to drastically change your appearance. While personality can play a big part, how this is paired with your look and personality can also help you succeed (or not). If you’re the kind of person who enjoys getting up close and personal with anyone, regardless of their age, ethnicity or looks, then you definitely have what it takes to be a male stripper – otherwise, it might not necessarily be for you.
Understand how to market yourself
Being a stripper is all about delivering an experience, and part of that experience is all about showing off your body – if you can ensure that you wear some great outfits – and can take them off just as well – there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to have more of a chance to sell yourself from the outset. Alongside this is a need for interaction, as this interaction will help the audience know that what your doing is targeted at them specifically. This knowledge will help them develop a stronger connection to your performance, and is an excellent way to significantly up that tip money. Developing this kind of rapport can also ensure that you gain ongoing work, as people who enjoy themselves in a certain way are often like to want it again! Finally, maintaining professionalism at all times will ensure that people you entertain won’t have a terrible time or feel awkward. Don’t be late to gigs, be professional at all times (i.e. don’t take horseplay too far) and always ensure to be positive and a team player.
