Singing Tips and Performance For Karaoke

By Mandy Long


Know your songs - Study the tune, the lyrics, and apply the actions you are going to use. It is also very serious to learn and know precisely where to come in at the beginning of the song.

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

Singing - Rest your voice on the day of your public presentation but make sure you warm it up the right way 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 consuming these foods altogether. Just be conscious that when you have to perform certain 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 allow the food to digest. It is no fun trying to sing on a whole stomach. Some people wait until after they perform to eat, but I wouldn't advise this. First reason is that you need the vigor 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 anxiousness at a more practicable level. If you don't eat you will become even more troubled and incapable to control the anxiety.

Breathing - Deep ventilation is advised to facilitate you with performance anxiety. The more you sing the simpler it gets. Nevertheless, this does not happen with everyone. Some people continue to struggle with anxiety. The important thing you require to remember is to never give up. Don't let the fear stop you from doing what you enjoy.

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

Make up - Stage lights can make a person 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 great!

Warm up your voice before you sing - Do your vocal exercises, 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 initiated your performance. Put your shoulder joints back and smile confidently.

Enjoy yourself - Individuals will savor your performance more if you are involved in what you are singing.

Mistakes - If you happen to make a slip pretend as though nothing happened and keep going. Don't say sorry, whoops, wind your eyes or commence laughing. Most people won't have a clue that you have made a fault.

Know and put across the substance of the song - During performance it is very fundamental to put across the content or story behind the song. Dont just stand like a statue. Learn about your character. Rehearse this at home when you sing your songs. If you do not exercise beforehand you will not be able to make it materialise on the day of your performance.

Applause - Stand and accept the applause as it's being given and then walk off the stage. Always make sure that you hold until the music stops before you depart. Remember that walking on and off stage are both big parts of your performance.

Reward yourself - After singing try not to recollect about the negatives. A performance is rarely perfect in every way. Don't allow faults or disappointments halt you from singing once again. A individual who never produces any mistakes doesn't do anything.
