Learn How To Sing - Lessons, Tips and Techniques - Karaoke DVDs

By Mandy Long

Know your songs - Discover the tune, the words, and commit the actions you are going to use. It is also really essential to learn and acknowledge exactly where to come in at the start of the song.

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

Singing - Ease your voice on the day of your performance but make sure you warm it up right 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 breathing is advised to facilitate you with performance anxiousness. The more you sing the better it gets. Nonetheless, this does not happen with everyone. Some people continue to struggle with anxiousness. The essential thing you need to remember is to never give up. Don't let the fear stop you from doing what you know.

Dress to impress - When you are going to perform make sure that you dress fittingly. It is better 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 - Masses will relish your public presentation more if you are committed in what you are singing.

Mistakes - If you happen to make a mistake act as though nothing encountered and keep working. Don't say sorry, whoops, wind your eyeballs or begin laughing. Most individuals won't have a hint that you have made a slip.

Acknowledge and put across the message of the song - During performance it is very critical to pass along the content or narrative behind the song. Dont just stand like a statue. Learn about your character. Practise this at home when you sing your songs. If you do not practise beforehand you will not be able to make it materialize 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 remember about the negatives. A performance is seldom complete in every way. Don't permit slips or disappointments halt you from singing again. A person who never produces any faults doesn't do anything.
