Think about it... as a musician, everything we do is based on body language. What we project from the stage, how we read a conductor, other musicians in a chamber setting, or following the guitarist/lead singer through a tune you've never previously performed. How someone breathes, cues, feels time, preps their body, and reacts to subtle change is important in everything we do. And not just in music.
There are people we say are easy to follow. Why some and not others?
Do you practice picking up on mannerisms? Projecting mannerisms? Of course you do- every single day. Transfer these skills to music? Are you "easy to follow?" If not, be that person. Practice in a mirror. Practice for friends. Practice with musicians.
