I have my first show opening up for Benny the butcher !!! But I need some advice because I have a condition that enables me from moving around too much is there anything u can give me pointers on. I acknowledge everything u said in video but need a lil more advise
I think your advice on performing and organizing making sure your performance goes according to plan to where your audience is engage with you is impeccable, I have a stage fright issue , deaf in my left ear and I don't like to move much but I must say this video is very useful and it is a shame that it doesn't have millions and millions of views because even artists in the industry can take these tips and points thank you for the valuable information and keep doing what you're doing and being brutally honest in order for performers to be successful.
Don’t be out of key; don’t be too out of time; and have a reason, a life, life experience behind what you’re doing… don’t just be a random artist. Have a reason. If you don’t, I’ll smell it; and if I do, then the audience does.
How’d it go? If you want some staging help or choreography help in the future for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
Appreciate your first point. Going through my finished songs, realizing a lot of these bedroom angsty tracks don’t translate well to gigs. People want to have fun and feel good. Time to keep writing !
Are you getting ready? Are you excited? I’m excited got you If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
Got a performance today! I know this year is about transforming into who I was destined to be. Thank you for the great advice man, it gives me some more confidence in being my authentic self while staying READY! 🙏🏽
Yes!!!!!!! Get it fam! How’d the show go?? If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
Excellent advice on all subjects. You did not mention smoking(anything.) Any smoking, if your serious about a long lasting voice. You cannot perform well if out of breath as you mentioned, is so true. The lungs go first and your left with no tone. Rap takes any voice but please guys/gals ditch the sticks and your lungs will be very happy. If/when music changes then you can use your smooth voice for other tunes.
I’m 3 years late watching this video because I was busy slaving at work. This year, I started getting back into writing and recording. This was the best video to get me ready back to performing. I haven’t performed since 2008 😮😔😂. I know long time but this was very good video to learn from. It also confirms my concerns on song selection and getting back in shape. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Nice bro! Keep finding a way to get at your dreams! If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
I have performed numerous amount of times, and still do not know how to properly execute it! Next year I’ll be performing at a huge festival and want to be better than I am. Thank you sooooo much for your insight and teachings 💗
That’s understandable. I can help with that. We all struggle with aspects of our careers. If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you.

These are actually great tips honestly, I just started street performing in LA and I have not been doing as well as I could and needed some advice to improve my act, thank you frfr
Awesome tips! Knowing the audience and the vibe of the event is soooooo key,In addition to looking good lol. Performing live is super visual so having a fly fit just adds to the visual experience.
That body posture tip is great! Being in the sweet spot with eye contact, I struggle with that a lot. I would be super interested to know what makes/breaks performances for social media too, if you're taking video requests! Thanks for the video, excited new subscriber!
3 years later, and I feel like you're speaking to me!! What a great video. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you for the amazing advice. You're so well spoken, and your words are truly helpful and motivational ❤
Another important thing to mention is to WARM UP before the show. Days before and just before, Warm up your voice and body so it doesn't give out or strain while you're on stage.
Been performing for a while and some very good advice here. Above all, your audience can sense confidence. Practice and rehearse until you KNOW your material. Don't go on stage with anything that's a "maybe". Do your cardio. Keep a smile on your face. If you make a mistake , don't even acknowledge it and KEEP ON GOING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED LOL!
Thanks for the great video very likable and very true straight to the point you hit all of the things that are definitely important. I haven’t been playing with a band for four years. I just started a new band. We’re gonna play our first show coming up in a couple weeks and this was really helpful and encouraging me to stay prepared.
Gosh… Thank you so much Mike. I have a live showcase in November [my first ever] & your tips are soooo helpful. You’re a life saver 🙌🏾🙏🏾🫶🏾. I’m going to go binge watch your video now 😅🙈
Hey it's all about consistency and remember practice makes perfect hey don't give up I've been performing since 2010 and now Im a pro and I'm from Zim but recently in Pretoria SA and I'm rated the best performer of them all wherever I perform🎉🎉🎉

In about a week, as the 2 time music competition winner I have to perform a song at my school. This song I chose could be VERY impressive IF I pull it off. And it also has a decently hard solo so this video is very helpful
great video! I was laughing at your delivery you just say it how it is 😂🙌🏽 another thing to add: HYDRATE 💧 sending positive vibes to all you beautiful artists out there. ✨
This was very helpful however stage freight is a mental issue so I ain’t got the guts to do on stage performance but I understand now go on stage remember the lyrics show no fear
That was useful, thank you. And yes being prepared makes me stand out SO MUCH from other artists and makes me look professional and reliable to the venue owner. Anything I can do to take the worry and mental load off their plate for a performance, I get hired again and again. 🙏❤️
Hell yeah seems practical and very useful to be mindful of self and intentions while performing got a show in two days this just reminded me of what I already know love from New York

Thanks for watching! Outside of the ones mentioned, what are reasons you didn't like a Live performance?

Great video! Forgot one major tip: use instrumentals or a band!!! Don't get on stage and perform over the recorded/released version of your music
Don’t be out of key; don’t be too out of time; and have a reason, a life, life experience behind what you’re doing… don’t just be a random artist. Have a reason. If you don’t, I’ll smell it; and if I do, then the audience does.
Good stuff. Everything you say is spot on...coming from a guy who does 5 hour casino gigs.
This finna be helpful cos I'm doing my first show todayyy!!
+Young Kordae hope you killed it!
Man mine is this Sunday at the Pomona Fair
Go kill it!!
How did it go ?
First show in April trying to prepare

Saaame, how was it?
How’d it go?

@@LayDee_Bug thank youu 🙌🏼
@@Iamkaylaskai it was really good the crowd enjoyed my music. Best feeling in the world is that energy!
I agree with the health/fitness 100%. To add for Rappers, do vocal training/lessons! its not just for singers. Your still using your voice.
+Art Tez absolutely!! 💯💯💯
I agree you have to be in shape to perform. Nothing worse than not having the wind to sing your own song.
Appreciate your first point.
Going through my finished songs, realizing a lot of these bedroom angsty tracks don’t translate well to gigs. People want to have fun and feel good. Time to keep writing !
As a performer, I 100% agree with everything you said!
Bro this was one of the best videos I've seen today
Glad you think so! 👌
Thank you for this! Performing at my first music festival in November!!! Lowkey nervous but super excited! This was super helpful.
