How to be a Badass on Stage

Proper singing technique is one thing, but it won’t carry you on stage.😉

Performing and holding the attention of an entire audience - no matter how big or small - is a different skillset entirely.

Do you have a story where you got on stage and froze or choked because you were THAT nervous?!

...you may feel like you’ll never be a good enough singer to not be nervous on stage. 

Don’t fret, friend. 1) If you’ve had a bad moment on stage, welcome to the club, and 2) You can learn the skills to be great on stage, no matter how good or bad you are at singing.

First, you need to recognize and accept that being nervous is good. Even being really nervous can be an asset on stage. All the nerves indicate is that you care about how you do, and that’s honorable.

Second, decide how you’re going to move on stage. To know how to make those decisions, click here for more info.

Third, in your practice time, work on your singing technique AND practice "being on stage.” Stand in your living room (or if we’re being honest, your shower😘) and imagine the feeling of standing in front of the crowd. Let yourself feel the nerves…

…imagine what it feels like to change your focus from one part of the room to another…it takes commitment, doesn’t it?

Once you’ve worked through the steps of deciding when and how to move during a performance (which you can work through here), practice all those decisions while singing. 

COMMIT to doing every single decision you made so you become comfortable with the movement.

💥 This can take time, movement while singing is awkward at first, but it won’t be forever, as long as you commit and practice.

One of my favorite parts of being on stage is moving and connecting with the audience, it’s such a fun feeling to make each person feel seen. Know that, even though you’re nervous on stage, you’re actually the most powerful person in the room. So use that power to connect and give your best badass performance! 💪🏼
