Participate
Participate in open mics, karaokes, spoken word, poetry jams and improv.

Fix
Listen to yourself. Appreciate the good, fix the bad.

Mumblers
Mumblers are never taken seriously. Open your mouth and people will listen.

Listening
Listening is equally as important as singing or speaking. Be teachable!

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.

Dance
To loosen up, dance while you practice your song/speech.

Mistakes
No one cares about your mistakes more than you.

Bigger
Bigger is better. Don’t hold back!

Thinking
If you’re trying to think of what to say next, then you are not listening.

Audience
It’s not about you, its about connecting with the audience.
Cold
Have a cold? Drink warm liquids and rest before you perform.

Stage Fright
Use stage fright to your advantage. The more scared you are, the bigger you should be.

Steam
Practice daily in the shower. The steam helps open up your sinuses.

Wall
You can only teach yourself so much before you hit a wall.

Relax
Relax, slow down, take your time and don’t rush. Less is more!

Talking
If you are talking over someone else, then you are not listening.

Goals

Focus on the message and stage fright becomes less important.

Humming
Humming is an excellent vocal warm up.

Drink
Drink water. Stay hydrated!

Mirror
Practice everyday in front of a full length mirror.

Talent

Don’t Stop
Don’t stop just because you made a mistake. Keep going!

Teachable
Be teachable.

Exercise
Exercise/energize hours before you perform. Run, swim, yoga etc.

Smiling
Smiling opens the sides of your mouth and helps with projection.
