Tips for Powerful Performance, Part 3

Focus
Performance Tips
 
1.  Focus before singing! Don’t sing before you are ready! Look forward to singing what you have to say.
 
2.  Really sing and communicate from your heart. What message do you want the audience to get from your singing?

3.  Commit yourself 100% to your performance. Keep the 10, 20 or whatever percent for technique that you need in the back of your mind, and devote the rest to communicating the text and music.
 
4.  Don’t forget your visual presentation. You express not only through your voice, but also through your facial and bodily expressions and your eyes.

5.  Keep up the intensity! This means through every rest and through the end of the very last note of the song. Don’t forget to stay in character no matter what!
