I'm a professional drag queen and have been looking for little ways to make my performances better. I know i fake sing but the emotion and nuance is all there. Thanks for the great tips.
@@jordana4936it’s a performing art, whether you like it or not. And if someone makes a living doing shows, why can’t they call themselves professionals? Just be a little open minded, thanks.
I wrote your tips down and a little text came out, I tried to keep it in mind like singing-affirmations, thank you for your video it really helped❤ Step one, clear your mind Step two, shoulders back, don‘t be so shy Acknowledge the people, don't look to the sky, look them in the eye Take a moment to remember what it's all about It's about to make you move, to have a good time It's all about music and dancing But also keep in mind, that you’re the one they look at right now Enjoy it, have fun, don‘t let this moment rush away without giving the best you got Keep a smile on your lips, cause you’re where you want to be A smile on your lips, just a little, for us to have a good night
Excuse me Miss... you’re tips are phenomenal! 🙌🏾 thank u so much for ur help. I’m a singer and have been performing live for about a year now, but I am extremely shy and still struggle with my confidence on stage. But you reminded me that I just have to relax and own it! 💯
This may be kinda crazy to read. But I'm 6'5 , I love singing and dancing & I play guitar. I've studied Artist like Chris brown , Micheal Jackson, James brown , Prince , Beyonce etc. They're stage presence is unmatched. My thing is "Who wants to see a 6'5 ,200+ pound man dance & sing to r&b". Yea I know that sounds crazy but that's how I feel.
Satril X then use exactly that as what you do best. The guys you mentioned are all either small in stature or weight and that makes it easier to dance. You dont have to do flips to have stage presence, just use your tall nature to instill a strong presence to show the audience that you’re there. Thats what makes you different.
It's not really fair to compare yourself to them. There's only one you. Instead, channel their vibe and make it your own. It doesn't matter what you look like or what size you are. If you're confident and you're enjoying yourself, that's what counts. Who know's? You could create your own style and that's what you become known for. Just do you! Set yourself free.
Satril X you literally explained me but just a couple inches taller! 200+ lb, 6’3 guy who loves singing and dancing, and studied Chris Brown, MJ, James Brown, prince, Beyoncé etc. my mind is blown rn lol I don’t play guitar tho I really want to start
Ahhhhh this helped a ton! I just started singing on the worship team and ugh the anxiety and low self confidence I have defeats me and i just wanna feel loose and not worry. 07/15/20 edit: it's been a year since i commented and let me tell y'all!!! Singing is like second nature now! I still have some groeing to do on stags ofc but i am no longer anxious!
Im actually here today because this sunday im one of the lead singers on my worship team and last time i went up i had a panic attack so im here to learn from this video and others! 🖤🖤
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Got two massive gigs next weekend and in have very little experience. Struggle with nerves and awkwardness Very useful tips on going to try and have fun! (I usually stress out before a gig) xx great tips the ones I will take away is , have fun, imagine it's my party and I'm the host, feel free to dance and move my body, look at audience forehead xxx
OMG this is exactly what I've been looking for. I have a gig on Friday and I really wanna let go and just have fun with it! Will keep you posted if anyone is interested
It's amazing not only cause the tips are good (I was taught them all before) but also because she describes very well how we actually feel and shows that it's ok but there are ways to go through it.😊
Thanks for this wonderful video! I'll be showing this at our youth music group tonight at church. Almost all of your advice applies in the church too! Even playing/singing for God requires a visual presence.
I have been singing since I was 6 (on stages) and I gotta say, some of the tips you gave are tips my Dad gave me way back when I started and they are so true. But even though I've been at it so long I still get shy and struggle sometimes with performance anxiety. It's not really that uncommon for anyone whose performing to get that anxiety. But these tips are gold. So to any newbies,I definitely suggest listening to this lady and her tips.
I don’t sing in the band but I do karaoke and I love it. I’ve been doing it for several years and I always try to get the audience involved. I try to always learn my lyrics and get physical on stage. I try to put my heart into it on every song and the audience loves it 😊
I'm doing The Voice auditions in less than 2 weeks.. this helps a lot. I will say, I don't really know what to do if it's for an acapella. There's no music, just me singing... idk the song just yet. Either Piano Man or... something.
You did a GREAT job of explaining the WHY for your first tip. SO important to be able to be objective about yourself. And not just on stage, but for life. That's the only way to grow.
You're a delight to watch! You have such an infectious energy and attitude! I'm not a singer, but as a guitarist in a gigging band, you've still given some very good advice on how to just be a good performer outside of singing!
Great tips! I‘m super nervous to stand on the stage with a professional Band in 2 Weeks (last time was 5 years ago in school and just for fun) Just watching this made me so confident! Thank you soo much!!
I’ve only played a couple of shows and I wasn’t confident for 2 of my shows but now I just get adrenaline rush and I just get into the music and I’m fine 😂
These are incredible tips. I have had a terror of singing live. I had thrown myself into musical theatre as my voice felt average. Recently , I have had some significant breakthroughs after years of training. One thing that has never left me, however, is this fear of performing live. Thankfully, there are apps like Smule available where one may slowly grow more confident. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still terrifying, 😂 but at least I can showcase my talent and it reaches an audience. Baby steps, right? Thank you so much for this excellent video. It will greatly help with some performance struggles I’ve had.
Seeing a lot of people in the comments with the same problem as me, is extremely cool. Good luck for everyone ❤ i love your videos, kisses from brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I'am here because I love singing I dreamed of performing on stage when I was a kid.But I just enjoyed singing on karaoke but never before a big crowd.For countless times, people would ask/request mo to sing for special celebrations but I could feel that there is still something lacking and upon watching this video, I realized all the things that I should improve
I did a political speech yesterday live on Facebook and sang to enhance the message first time ever. I was so nervous my voice got thin and broke. Uggggh so embarrassing. Well, this is how you learn - truly. I have gone a massive journey in 3 years with my voice & performing & confidence.💓❄🎹🧚♀️
Thank you .... like the way you presented the TIPS...... fully agree; I sent it to my group of singers. A different voice to listen to I hope it registers.
Thank you for the tips. I'm here because i have the voice but not a good stage presence which ruins everything. I am not confident on the stage, worse when there are judges. There was 1 time i got so nervous i couldn't even sing well coz i was trembling inside. I've joined 2 singing competitions, but didn't win. People who didn't really sing well could also score higher than me because they were confident. I want that too.😭
When I auditioned in a talent guild in our school, my performance was really not good 'coz I literally cried while singing and I feel so embarrassed, and my hands and voice are shaky, because I'm really shy and nervous when people are watching me performing on stage, and I hope this tips will help me improve my singing performance on stage. Thank You so much for doing this video ☺️☺️💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I swear I almost had a panic attack just by recording myself, the voice was super thin and lost, I was shaking with the guitar in my hands... when I used to sing in church and the choir from the symphonic orchestra, I have work to do, a lot, if I want to present myself better on stage in the future.
That is so true about that microphone and the stand. I had a problem where my mic would make a noise if I took it off the stand. So, I rarely touch the mic. But sometimes I would and I would get a reminder. These are some great tips even as a reminder for experience singers. Thank you You have a nice blouse that goes well with your finger nail polish.
I cant tell you how much I appreciate this. I LOVE YOU YOUR ATTITUDE AND EVERYTHING AGHHHH. I have my first performance tomorrow and I'm so scared this is a huge help.
Thankyou for the great video! I had a really long break (about 10 years now) since my last performance and need to get back into it again, and you reminded me of all the important things to think about when you're on stage and already took a big part of that stage fright away that's been building up in my head. :) Thanks again, and greetings from Berlin! 🙏🏻
So did you get some good ideas from this video? Leave a YES in the comments if you did!
Hell Yes

I wrote your tips down and a little text came out, I tried to keep it in mind like singing-affirmations, thank you for your video it really helped❤
Step one, clear your mind
Step two, shoulders back, don‘t be so shy
Acknowledge the people,
don't look to the sky, look them in the eye
Take a moment to remember what it's all about
It's about to make you move, to have a good time
It's all about music and dancing
But also keep in mind, that you’re the one they look at right now
Enjoy it, have fun, don‘t let this moment rush away without giving the best you got
Keep a smile on your lips, cause you’re where you want to be
A smile on your lips, just a little, for us to have a good night

Hi I will be performing this coming Saturday and stage fright is my enemy,so thanks to your advice 😊❤
When I’m nervous on the stage I start dancing lol
Me except I’m in Choir so my teacher wanted to slap me and gave me a death stare
Isn't dancing good? I wished I did that really.
Im having concert today... just the idea gives me chills and im shaking, even tho i know im gonna have fun

I hardly know this woman and I already love her
Thank u✨
Big thank u 😊👏
Amen I’m DOING IT ❤❤❤
Very helpful! Thank you!
Should we smile between lines or WHILE singing? 🤔
Great question! Do what feels natural. If you're not sure, film yourself during rehearsal or a show and study your style.
Fair question to have! Obviously theres no "right answer" here, its what feels good :)
dont smile while you are singing. it makes your face tighnten up and you wont feel natural
Thanks my chick! Solid advice :)
Right on. You're welcome!
Appreciate the content it’s been very helpful, thanks for making these videos
