I've been singing in Metro Detroit local music scene for about 2 years now, first in a band and now just on my own with my guitar. I like the solo thing better. SO anyway you got some stage fright. OUCH.
Alright now this is something that worked for me.
The first thing you do is picture yourself singing that song. Your like Beyonce on stage you singing your ass off, the notes are perfect and everyone loves it!!!!!!!!!!
Once your pumped up and its in your head you now have Confidence!!!! and that the key to a great stage pressence.
Now that worked for me, I thought about how I wanted the songs to sound and focused on that instead of the crowd.
Dont get frusterated if something goes bad, because it will trust me Ive had plenty of crap shows.
My first show with my band I was sooooo nervious and screwed up everything that came out of my mouth. I thought I would never get on a stage again.
But then the next show came up and I thought about everything I did wrong and thought about what I wanted it to sound like........ and I did it!!!!!
It was the best show ever!!!!
So think about what you want to sound like
that will help you to relax and just do it.
Oh and the other thing I almost forgot
SING OUT IN PUBLIC ALOT
Go to Kareoke if you can and sing as many things as you can, and dont be affraid to try things with your voice, if you fuck up OH WELL just do it again. AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGIAN!!!!!!
Before you know it you'll be singing like a champ!!!!!
