Singing Performance Tips
Knowing how to behave when you're singing
for an audience is important if you're to sing at your
best, so here are some practical tips to
help you with your next live performance.
Singing Performance Tip
1:
Rehearse with the band. You should have at least one dress
rehearsal and several more practice rehearsals before a live
performance. For the last rehearsal and dress rehearsal you
should sing the music from memory.
Singing Performance Tip
2:
The outfit you choose to wear for the
live performance can make or break the show. When you
practice, be sure to wear the outfit that you plan to wear
for your singing performance. You want to be sure
that you can move in it and breathe without feeling
constricted.
Singing Performance Tip
3:
After you know where to stand it's a good idea
to practice walking into place. Knowing how to walk across
a stage and land in place isn't as easy as it sounds. You want
to stop in place but also find your posture as you stop. Find
your alignment, walk across the room and maintain that
posture.

Singing Performance Tip
4:
Singing with a band can be really cool, but the first time
can be a bit confusing. If the speakers are pointed away
from you, which they probably will be, you may have trouble
hearing yourself. Ask if it's possible to have a speaker turned
toward you. Remember that bands often play pretty loud, and
turning the speaker towards yourself can be distracting if
you have a huge wall of sound coming at you. If a specific
instrument plays the melody line, you may have to get used to
picking out that sound from the other instruments.
Singing Performance Tip
5:
When you make your entrance, look at the audience and smile.
You appear far more confident if you look straight at your
audience as you walk across the stage. Your smile needs to look
genuine even if you're nervous and don't want to be on the
stage.
Singing Performance Tip
6:
When singing in a concert, knowing whether to acknowledge
your audience or stick to your own little world can be tricky.
Singers can't always sing intimate songs in an intimate locale,
but you can imagine yourself in a cosy locale if this helps you
with your performance. To get a feel for whether to include the
audience as part of your song, watch and learn from the
seasoned pros.
Singing Performance Tip 7:
In a normal concert there can be a lot of distractions.
People cough, enter late and even leave right in the
middle of your song. People in the audience often don't
consider how this distracts the performer. When you practice at
home you might want to intentionally stage some distractions.
Get a friend to try and distract you while you practice
ignoring them and concentrating on your performance.
Singing Performance Tip
8:
If you're not sure what to do with your hands
during your live singing performance, putting your hands down
at your sides is safest. It may not be the most
interesting place for them but you're probably better off
erring on the side of calm and still. If you choose to gesture,
make it a complete gesture and make sure your elbows move out
away from your body. Clasping your hands in front of you is
another option for your hands.
