Mirror
Practice everyday in front of a full length mirror.

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

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

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

Teachable
Be teachable.

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

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

Talent
Everyone has a talent. Many choose to ignore it.

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

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

Bigger
Bigger is better. Don’t hold back!

Humming
Humming is an excellent vocal warm up.

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.
Drink
Drink water. Stay hydrated!

Goals
Stay focused on your goals.

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

Learn
Be patient with yourself and you will learn faster.

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

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

Message
Focus on the message and stage fright becomes less important.

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

Mistakes
No one cares about your mistakes more than you.

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

Cold
Have a cold? Drink warm liquids and rest before you perform.

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

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.
