LIVE PERFORMANCE - Singing Tips.

As performance is a big part of singing, I thought I would share a few free singing tips that will help you leave the audience stunned, and wanting more. I always say this, because it's important, for any singer. Warm up your voice. Find a nice quite space where you can be alone. Begin with some humming in your easy range. Then, move onto some lip rolls, and begin to move into your mixed and head registers. Also, sing a few scales on the word "mum" to help the larynx feel nice and relaxed. Warming up the voice before a performance will give you confidence. It will also make you sound much better. It's a great idea to develop or purchase a warm-up CD. All you need is a CD with a short scale, and a long scale. This way you can begin to hit pitches and feel comfortable with your voice before you take to the stage. If you get really nervous before a performance, the best medicine is to have a good warm up. Also, try and take every opportunity to sing in front of people. Always remember, no one performs completely free of nerves. Even those singers who perform every night of their lives feel nervous before the performance. The best thing you can do to avoid feeling nervous, is to perform as much as you can. You will get used to taking the stage and the nerves will decrease (but never disappear completely).
