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

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.

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

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

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

Mistakes
No one cares about your mistakes more than you.

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

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

Audience
It’s not about you, its about connecting with the audience.
Stage Fright
Use stage fright to your advantage. The more scared you are, the bigger you should be.

Goals
Stay focused on your goals.

Humming
Humming is an excellent vocal warm up.

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

Teachable
Be teachable.

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

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

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

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

Drink
Drink water. Stay hydrated!

Mirror
Practice everyday in front of a full length mirror.

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

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.

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

Learn
Be patient with yourself and you will learn faster.

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

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