Thinking
If you’re trying to think of what to say next, then you are not listening.
Learn
Be patient with yourself and you will learn faster.
Smile
When you perform, Smile! If you think you’ll look silly then consider what it looks like when when all you do is frown.
Goals
Stay focused on your goals.
Talking
If you are talking over someone else, then you are not listening.
Steam
Practice daily in the shower. The steam helps open up your sinuses.
Exercise
Exercise/energize hours before you perform. Run, swim, yoga etc.
Listening
Listening is equally as important as singing or speaking. Be teachable!
Mirror
Practice everyday in front of a full length mirror.
Don’t Stop
Don’t stop just because you made a mistake. Keep going!
Drink
Drink water. Stay hydrated!
Bigger
Bigger is better. Don’t hold back!
Mumblers
Mumblers are never taken seriously. Open your mouth and people will listen.
Cold
Have a cold? Drink warm liquids and rest before you perform.
Humming
Humming is an excellent vocal warm up.
Dance
To loosen up, dance while you practice your song/speech.
Talent
Everyone has a talent. Many choose to ignore it.
Fix
Listen to yourself. Appreciate the good, fix the bad.
Smiling
Smiling opens the sides of your mouth and helps with projection.
