How To Perform With Confidence with No Rehearsal

Confident Singing Made Simple

Preparing for, and having, a successful singing performance when you get no rehearsal and don't know the room or the sound person, is not easy.

Fortunately there are some steps you can take that will help you to sing with confidence and shine like a star.

Today, we're going to hear from one of my Confident Vocalist Circle classes where I shared my tips for preparing for and handling a recent mystery performance, singing at my sister’s wedding reception.

I’m sharing this on the podcast because I had several people message me after the class and they shared with me how much of a game-changer it’s been in their ability to be confident in a mystery performance...one where you are walking into a situation with no rehearsal and little insight into the situation.

4.04 Have someone in the audience let you know if you are not loud enough or too loud. They can signal you discreetly.
