Im going for a talent show at school and everyone that heard me loved my vocals but im afraid to sing infront of three schools. What should i do?

[Dominic Shays]

Imagine them all in their underwear. lol, just kidding. Sing in front of some other, smaller groups first if possible. Pick three spots on the wal in front of you that you can look at, focus on them and it doesn't seem so bad. Just some ideas.

[Geno Simpson]

Get 4-5 buddies in a room, have them heckle you whilst you sing. Then you'll know what the worst-case feels like. As long as the reception in the actual room is better (and it shouldn't be worse, if you really do have a good voice) then it'll seem easy by comparison.

i tried alot of those things i mean in rehearsels I sing infront of my class and two other classes but three schools that makes me shiver worst part I end the show how great. I always lok at the headlights and that dosnt even help

[Prof Frank Edwin Wright III]

But if you don't do it your gonna regret i.And with the people watching think they are not the ones brave enough to be up here at the moment.Just try imaing they aer not there and he room is empty.

What i did once when i was playing a gig with my high school band, decided to do a really spectacular jump finish at the end of our last song. Was sufficiently fixated on the trickiness of that move, i was much more relaxed about actually playing.

Well in the end Im doing a cartwheel of the stage with a landing splits so maybe ill pay attention to that more ill be concentrated on it so much that I probably will get over it but still whenever im rehearsing and someone walks in the auditorium they would just freeze and sit down to listen and when im done they always say how oh my god that was so good you should sing for the whole city at the spring fling so yeah that kind of makes it worse but i haop i dont freeze in the middle.

[Professor Rebecca Wright]

Good luck for when you do the performance!!

I know, singing infront of 3 schools must be horribly frightening. But these guys are most definately right.

Example - I dance, so when I have a large crowd I simply pretend their not there. Act as though no one is there, sing as though your alone, let it out.

Another thing is that I hate it in Athletic races how they shoot that starting gun. Same thing, it might startle you at first, but once you get going - it smooths out in the end. ^__^

Good luck with it though! What are you singing by the way?

[aerise]

OK I performed and well it WENT GREAT!! No one booed everyone was shouting and a few of the guys made comments that werent really appropriate, but other then that everyone was cheering like maniacs it was crazy well Im proud of myself and rocked on WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I sang Waterfalls and rocked it but then it blended in with creep in the middle and back to waterfalls for the ending I thank my friend for it she helped me alot.

[Tsubi Bijoux]

Whoot!

That's great to hear that it went so well! Wished I could have heard ya, would've been good. Get any marks or results yet?

We did a school vote for singing dancing and other talents I came first for most creative and vocalist while my best friend got best dancer (she was my background dancer) and baton twirler. (SHE KILLED IT)

[Ryan Pritchard]

Well done!!!It must have been really hard in front of some many people.Do you think you will ever do anything like it again?
