This post is not just about playing perfectly, it’s also about how you carry yourself and engage the audience!
Practice, practice, practice
Practice your performance multiple times to improve your confidence and eliminate errors.
Practicing also helps you remember your lines or choreography and helps you develop a sense of timing.
When the adrenaline kicks in your body will do what it has trained to do, so drill drill drill.
Control your breathing
Nervousness can cause your breath to become short and shallow. Focus on taking deep breaths and exhaling slowly to calm yourself and control your voice.
Engage with the other band members
Audiences find it easier to engage with the show and relax when they see the band move around the stage, smile and make eye contact with the other band members.
Laugh, smile, rock out together and acknowledge when a particular band member is taking the lead to bring focus to them.
Visualize success
Close your eyes and visualize yourself performing flawlessly on stage, This technique helps you to relax and feel confident.
Choose an artist you love and imagine you are that person, how would they perform and carry themselves?
Warm-up
Before going on stage, warm up your voice or muscles, depending on the type of performance you are doing.
This helps to prevent injury and prepare your body for the performance.
Be in the moment
Stay focused on your performance and try to avoid distractions. Focus on your movements, lines, or notes to stay in the moment.
Engage with the audience
Make eye contact with the audience, smile, and acknowledge their presence.
Engaging with the audience helps you to connect with them and feel more comfortable on stage.
Have fun
Finally, remember to enjoy yourself! When you’re having fun on stage, it shows in your performance and helps you to feel more relaxed and confident.
