Hi honey
it really depends on the compare as there are some amazing ones out there that take time and effort to get your name and act name right and make you feel a million dollars before you step on stage. then you have ones that can not even get your name right or bother to say the name of your act.
I ask you do I look like a DAVE!!!!
From what I have learnt you need be self contained have props that you can carry anywhere and make your acts simple and people will understand. It does not have to be silly just simple if you no what I mean.
For Example I have an act called 'Evolution of Woman' it took me ages to figure out how to get people to realize how I was changing. I stated off with the idea of having a nature program style voice over, then a speech the compare could read then I struck on the idea of using the music from a space odyssey. At the start of the movie where the monkeys find the bone and start to beat it I used that idea for the start of my act but with a red sparkly shoes. I love doing the act because I can hear when the audience start to get the joke.
So maybe you need to find music that tells your story for you there are plenty of songs about love. Also your costume will do a lot, why is your character taking her clothes off? Will this help her to get love? or is she angry with the ex lover. I always have a story for my acts even the fan dances as it really helps me figure out all the problems.
Hope this has been some help.
