RPing as an entertainer myself, I can tell you that it's a challenge often tackled very differently player to player. Stroud makes use of the piano, so it becomes much easier to just write off the need for vocal input and queue up a few piano remixes of songs, or yank the occasional Chopin piece from youtube for atmosphere if anyone in the scene happens to be interested in deepening the immersion.Â
Given he's a Xaela, I like to make use of his tail while performing though, to give him a sort of exotic and arrogant flare to his performances, using it to take the place of his hand for a slower piece, so he can drink or take a drag from his cigar while sitting at the piano. I also like to accentuate his body movements, such as 'bobbing' with his shoulders, doing the 'exaggerated Beethoven', his movements in sync with the music... lends a more passionate persona, I like to think.
