Basically a good recording artiste should equally have the ability to perform their musical pieces live on stage. Libeson Muzik Consultancy have made provisions for tips that will guide singers and performers to deliver perfectly on stage during their live performances. If a performer carefully makes this a routine, there will be a huge change in their music career.
Below are 7 tips to guide all performers in their live performances on stage.
1. Know Your Song –
have the words memorized and have 2 or 3 emotions that you want to evoke when you sing. Trying to sing with emotion is hard when you don’t know which emotion(s) to use. “Knowing your motivation” will help you connect to the audience.2. Use Dynamics –
nothing is boring like a song that sounds the same from beginning to end. You have to change up the volume, the intensity, the tone and all other vocal elements to keep people engaged. Accent key words in each line by make them different—louder/softer, brighter/darker vowel color, staccato/legato, etc.
3. Sing To Your Audience, Not at Them –
split the audience into quadrants and sing to each quadrant for a few seconds. Even if you’re not making eye contact with every single person it will look and feel as if you’re singing to each audience member. Your voice goes where your eyes go—don’t close your eyes a lot or look over people’s heads. Look us in the eye for a few seconds and you’ll win our hearts.
4. Proper breathing technique –
learn how to use Belly Breathing and “sing from the diaphragm”. It is difficult to create a flow when you sing or speak if we can see your shoulders lifting up and down and hear you sucking in air. Knowing how Nature intends for us to breathe and make sound will make a huge impact on your control and confidence.
5. If You Don’t Show It, They Won’t Know It –
if you don’t react to a mistake no one will notice it. Practice making a mistake and continuing as if nothing happened and this will become second nature.
6. Don't get drunk -
