15 Ways To Overcome Stage Fright - Karaoke Singing By Simon Turly

By Simon Turly


Here are 15 great tips to start singing well on stage. Know your songs - Study the tune, the words, and practise the activities you are going to use. It is also really essential to learn and recognise 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 right before you perform.

Eating - Make sure that you don't drink carbonated 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 careful that when you have to perform certain foods can intervene with your singing. It is a right 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 full stomach. Some people 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 learned that it's better to eat before you sing because it will help to keep your anxiety at a more controllable level. If you don't eat you will become even more worried and incapable to control the anxiousness.

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 appropriately. 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 great!

Warm up your voice before you sing - Do your vocal workouts, 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 begun 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 encountered and keep working. Don't say sorry, whoops, roll your eyes or start laughing. Most people won't have a clue that you have made a fault.

Recognize and put across the substance of the song - During performance it is very important to pass along the content or story 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 practice beforehand you will not be able to make it materialise 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 remember about the negatives. A performance is rarely complete in every last way. Don't grant errors or disappointments halt you from singing once again. A person who never produces any faults doesn't do anything.
