Pick A Pageant Talent

Choose a pageant talent that's unforgettable.


Although it's absolutely necessary in many pageants, beauty alone does not win the title. The talent competition is one of the most crucial portions of the event since it gives competitors a chance to stand out from the crowd. Choosing a talent is not a matter of picking what you're good at. It's also about putting on a memorable show so that you can connect with the audience and panel of judges.


Instructions


1. Write down on a sheet of paper all the things that you're good at. Make the list as exhaustive as you can, including things as simple as "cooking" or "taking care of my pets." Although you might have a talent in mind, it helps to start with an idea of all your skills and gifts.


2. Select from that list any talents you would enjoy watching on a stage. This will help you eliminate some things from the list and get closer to crafting an entertaining and impressive performance.


3. Decide which talent allows you to display your personality the most. Judges don't just want to see the most difficult or shocking talents. They want to connect with you on stage and get a better idea of who you are. So, for example, even if you absolutely love playing the cello, your karate skills might show a side of you that the judges will not otherwise get a chance to see.


4. Select props, music, and costuming that will contribute to an unforgettable show. Whether you'll be singing, acting, dancing, or spinning plates, don't just settle on your skills. Incorporate other aspects that will allow you to enjoy yourself and appear engaged. No matter how skilled you are, the judges don't want to see someone that's robotic and bored on stage. A flawless performance can easily be forgotten if it's not remarkable in some way.
