Preparing Yourself To Sing On Stage - Karaoke Night

By Simon Turly


Here are 15 great tips to start singing well on stage. Remember your songs - Hear the tune, the language, and commit the actions you are going to use. It is also very serious to learn and recognize exactly where to come in at the beginning of the song.

Sleep - Get lots of rest the night before you perform.

Singing - Ease your voice on the day of your public presentation but make sure you warm it up decently before you perform.

Eating - Make sure that you don't drink bubbly drinks or ice drinks before you sing. Same goes with milk, yoghurt, cream, ice cream, cheese etc. This is not at all suggesting that you should avoid eating these foods altogether. Just be careful that when you have to perform particular foods can interfere with your singing. It is a great idea to eat a couple of hours before you have to perform in order to provide the food to digest. It is no fun trying to sing on a full stomach. Some individuals wait until after they perform to eat, but I wouldn't advise this. First reason is that you need the vigour to be able to sing well. I have also found that it's better to eat before you sing because it will help to keep your anxiety at a more practicable level. If you don't eat you will become even more anxious and incapable to control the anxiety.

Breathing - Deep ventilation is advised to facilitate you with performance anxiousness. The more you sing the simpler it gets. Nevertheless, this does not happen with everyone. Some individuals continue to battle with anxiety. The important thing you want to remember is to never give up. Don't let the dread stop you from doing what you know.

Dress to impress - When you are going to perform make sure that you dress befittingly. It is better to be over dressed than under dressed.

Make up - Stage lights can make a individual look washed out or really sick. So a bit of coloring will help you to avoid this. Age appropriate make up please!

Hair - Make it look extraordinary!

Warm up your voice before you sing - Do your vocal practises, breathing and warm ups.

Arrive on time - You could get disqualified or a replacment might be found if you are late.

Smile - As soon as you walk on stage you have started your performance. Put your shoulders back and smile confidently.

Enjoy yourself - People will savor your performance more if you are committed in what you are singing.

Mistakes - If you happen to make a error pretend as though nothing materialised and keep working. Don't say sorry, whoops, roll your eyeballs or start laughing. Most people won't have a clue that you have made a error.

Know and transmit the message of the song - During performance it is very critical to pass along the content or narrative behind the song. Dont just stand like a statue. Learn about your character. Exercise this at home when you sing your songs. If you do not exercise beforehand you will not be able to make it materialize on the day of your performance.

Applause - Stand and accept the hand clapping as it's being given and then walk off the stage. Always make sure that you hold until the music stops before you leave. Remember that walking on and off stage are some fundamental parts of your performance.

Reward yourself - After singing try not to think about the negatives. A performance is seldom perfect in every way. Don't grant faults or disappointments stop you from singing again. A individual who never makes any mistakes doesn't do anything.
