Sort of. Upstaging is more specific. If you stand upstage of the other actors in your scene (i.e. you are farther from the audience than they are), then the other actors are forced to look away from the audience when they talk to you. So you become the only face the audience can see.
I did not it intend to be limited to musical acts. My question was vague, granted, and I am not nor ever will be a performer. “Charisma” is another perfect word. Thank you.
Yeah, that was kind of why I asked the question. I can’t define it either, but know when I see it. (I had too much time on my hands that day. Thanks for all the responses so far).
