In this episode, Tara talks about how singing in a new situation can be stressful. She brings tools to help!

 

Things that can help you be calm singing at a brand new place:

  • Get to the place early so you have plenty of time to deal with anything unknown
  • Assess the situation by looking at what things you might need or what the room is like. Pay attention to details.
  • Make sure that you ask as many questions to help you feel prepared. Ask your point person so you get all the details ahead of your playing time.
  • Check sound levels before you start so you can hear yourself and have an idea of how loud it is for your audience.
  • Don’t assume that the audience should accept you immediately. But don’t assume they don’t like you.
  • Be extra prepared with your songs. Don’t try to do new songs, but instead do songs that are super familiar to you.
  • Be yourself when you sing. You don’t need to be what the audience wants. Be authentic.
  • Don’t over sing even if people are being really loud. Save your voice. Allow people to listen to you.
  • Have conversations with your audience to make them feel more at home with you.
  • Sing your songs with passion, fun and with giving 100%. Some will respond well!
