HOW TO BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE WHILE SINGING ON STAGE

     Singing on stage is not all about climbing the stage and carrying the microphone to sing or shout as many artiste do. No!, it takes a lot. Singing on stage involves singing with best voice tone and pitch and having the ability to carry your audience along with you. If you can know yur audience's mind, you know what they want and sing/flow with them, you are a big time musician and entertainer. The steps to take while singing with confidence on stage are ;
 1.           PROPER REHEARSALS ; you have to efficiently rehearse before you perform on stage. In football, they say, 'a coach is as good as his last game'. So if your rehearsal ended up poor or bad, the chance of flopping your performances is very high. Learn the lyrics repeatedly. Always remember them. And then you must rest at least 24 hrs before your performance. Do not over stress yourself.
2.            PLAYINGIN A SMALL AUDIENCE; You can sing in the midst of your friends and you asked them how well you did so that you will know how to correct some of your mistakes. You can also record on your phone whether audio or video. You can as well sing in front of your mirror to see your demonstration.
3.            SINGINGWITH A BAND:  This is one of the best way to improve yourself as a musician. Do not associate yourself with average band members that you feel you are the boss rather you associate yourself with the best so you look like a rookie when you just come in. If you are determined and hardworking and you always listen to corrections, in no time you will improve. Singing in studio will also help. You know studio sessions are expensive, so you have to prepare very well for it.
4.            OVERCOMINGSTAGE FRIGTH:  Turn off your mind when you get on stage. Don’t waste time overthinking and asking yourself negative questions.  Just start enjoying your performance and inhabiting the moment. If you cant think straight at the audience, you create one that loves what you do, that will applaud you while singing and you put him between two people. They will think you are staring at them.
                 Then finODally I saved the best for the last. After you have practiced all this steps, just TRUST GOD.

I wanna know how this article has helped you. A comment or question will be appreciated
