Ive been a soloist/cantor in Catholic church 4 sometime, & stage fright still haunts me. Best advice Ive gotten is the following: a short workout about an hour be4, & believe U have something 2 share. I get 2 share this w/U & it makes me excited. Different frame of mind.
I try and sing regularly at home so when I do sing in front of people, I feel more at ease. And like you said, staying within your range and ability makes for a more consistent experience. Sometimes I will push boundaries but I do it at home to test the waters.
@@kentamplin lol That’s great advice Ken. I failed to mention I’ve came a long way since those days. No longer need liquid courage & I actually hope there’s a large crowd when I go out singing.
Ken, hello, I'm a newbie, I realized that I want to sing pop and r&b music, I can't decide what is better ktva or 30-minute singer for maximum development efficiency, thanks if anyone writes advice?
When I was in high school and we sang in front of an audience,(school assemblies or Chorus Concerts), the teacher told us to look slightly above the people. There was a black mark on the wall, so I would focus on that black mark. Aced it every time. Now, I wonder what I can focus on. There are no black marks on the wall of my apartment. In these times, I shut my eyes and enjoy the story. I don't know if that makes me better or worse. Get that little mental movie going. Before you know it, you are finished and can let a sigh of relief. It may not be right, now that I am older, but it stuck with me. Nervous, just look slightly above your audience. They will think you're looking at them, when in all actuality you are "singing to your own little black mark". Just thought I would share that with you guys.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ken!🎄🎅You know, my issue is there's always a phone camera in your face these days. You can't eff up in private 😬someone will have it on their phone or even upload it on their social media stories or so.
Singing in front of an audience sometimes seems like it would be completely intimidating. Conquering that fear can free open up a whole world of possibilities.
@@highmtnx I am a pretty shy person by nature in a room full of strangers. If definitely was something I had to conquer. Was not easy but each time gets a little more easier each subsequent time.
@@FWDSUXARSE I am the most shy person you will every meet, except I'm so shy almost nobody every gets to meet me. I'm hiding. Except when I'm on stage. Next thing I know, people are coming up to me from the audience, telling me how much they love my voice. It's a shocker. Shy people, I'm telling you... it's such a kick to be able to get on stage and sing songs and have strangers come up to you and tell you how much they love to hear you sing. Learn to sing, people. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. You can do this.
Stagefright is a big deal when it comes to stepping out in public singing I know I battle that love to sing around my family don't have the guts to step in front of a crowd im a spineless jellyfish Ken lol😂😂😂
Ive been playing guitar since i was 6. Been trying to figure out this singing thing. I think I'm getting better but if i try to sing in front of a single person my voice just shuts down, cant hit a single note.. i can play guitar all day in front of 100s and it doesnt bother me.. really wish i could figure this out. I think its the lack confidence in my voice.
If you want to write world-wide hits, for real, you should take my advanced, full-course, How To Sing Better Than Anyone Else, and be prepared to work for it. If you apply yourself and do all of the exercises and learn all of the techniques, you will be on a trajectory to succeed. KenTamplinVocalAcademy.com/
Me too, especially now. Ive been thinking maybe Karaoke ? I did once belt out part of Bobby Caldwell "What you wont do for love" 🎶 about 7 years ago before a concert in Seattle when I heard it on someone in lines playlist. I actually got a nice round of applause 😊 The appreciation felt really good & was a confidence boost 👍
Singing is a lot like public speaking. What helped me with public speaking is reading a book out loud in front of a mirror. I think that would also help with overcoming stage fright.
That can help with getting used to vocalizing into a room, which can be an added confusion factor. Getting confused in front of an audience can be one of the first stages before fight or flight takes over. Nothing like a good ol' panic attack to watch things begin to fall apart. We need to prepare ourselves for adapting to the public speaking or singing environment. We do have to finally just jump in and get through that big moment, but our preparation can build a foundation for success.
I saw a poll a while back and one of the categories was asking people what they feared. One of the number one answers was public speaking, which parallels, public playing and public singing. I practice playing keyboards a lot, along with singing. Strangely, if I am just going to play, I don't get that nervous, but if I have to play and sing, the anxiety can skyrocket. It makes my vocal chords tense up and can affect my ability to remember all the lyrics, or not concentrate on proper breathing and run out of breath before a phrase ends. One thing that seems to help is to not make direct eye contact with the crowd. Looking toward the crowd, but slightly above their heads seems to help keep me more calm and stay in my personal zone of performing the song. Also, I am more comfortable playing and singing in a group, than performing by myself. But most of the time, I am in solo performance mode.
The more you prepare, the more you go out and perform, the more you experience success, the more confidence you will build to know that you can, and will succeed on stage.
Never in my life I've sing a song in public and Tommorow I've to do it

Thank you Ken, I still deal with this dependent upon who the audience is.
All the information coming from you is always helpful.
Thanks Ken!! 🤗🤗

So true!
Thanks Ken. Great practical advice!
Merry Christmas Ken!
🎄🎁🎊🎉🎅☃
Thanks, Scott, and Happy Holidays to you as well!
very nice, merry Christmas
Happy holidays!
Hello Ken - any videos on preventing choking up during certain songs ?
Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas, jcoulter!
Over a decade ago when I first began singing karaoke regularly, I had to down three shots before even attempting the first song.
I highly recommend working on your singing technique. It can be hard to read the karaoke lyrics if they are spinning around too fast.
@@kentamplin lol That’s great advice Ken. I failed to mention I’ve came a long way since those days. No longer need liquid courage & I actually hope there’s a large crowd when I go out singing.
Merry Christmas Ken to you & loved ones !!!

Good comments, Holly!
Mary xmas dude.. to all the singers of the world..
Thanks, Mr.Phats, and Merry Christmas to everyone everywhere!
Taking my glasses off so I can't see the audience seems to help me. Aha
God love you for all this encouragement. I’m actually considering a course. 😊
I'm glad you're considering it, agold1702! The course has helped many overcome their stage fright.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ken!🎄🎅You know, my issue is there's always a phone camera in your face these days. You can't eff up in private 😬someone will have it on their phone or even upload it on their social media stories or so.
Thanks, Solovelee! All the best to you and your loved ones.

Hello, will this course alone be enough if you intend to write world hits?

It's amazing how that little bit of applause can boost our confidence. Keep singing!
Thanks Ken, will do !!!
