well vocally i would advise you to drink plenty of water before you go on, and try to stay awawy from carbonated drinks and sugary and salty foods. dont do any yelling before hand or you might lose your voice. try and have good posture while your up there, i.e. sing standing up. and have confidence!! dont be nervous, and dont worry about the people out there watching you. just go fot it! and have fun. people can tell when you are nervous and they will be more likely to provoke it if they find that they can make you more nervous. so just have fun and dont worry about it! the most important thing is that you enjoyed performing, not if they enjoyed it. get up there and blow them away!! good luck!! tell me how it goes =]] [ mandyx3's advice column | Ask mandyx3 A Question ]

1)Correct your posture. Stand tall with one foot slightly in front of the other one, feet shoulder width apart. This allows you to breathe easily and to allow maximum lung capacity to allow better notes and phrases. Stand up straight, shoulders back and down, floating over your torso. Make sure that your chest is high to give room for your lungs to expand and contract. Don't lock your legs, it leads to poor blood circulation and can affect your singing, believe it or not; slightly bend your legs instead. Relax your jaw, relax your face.
2)Breathe properly. The voice is best described as a wind instrument, because breathing is 80% of singing and proper singing begins and ends with proper breathing.
3)Always warm up before you begin singing or doing practice exercises. You should always warm your voice up in this pattern: middle range, low range, then high range, then back to middle. You should spend at least 10 minutes on each range and do not stress your voice if you're frustrated and cannot hit a note. Warm back down or up to your comfortable range and then try again
4)Pronounce your vowels correctly.
5)Practice scales. You need to do this often if you have pitch problems. Most coaches will recommend 20-30 minutes a day when starting out. Practicing scales will also strengthen the muscles used for singing and give you better control. To practice scales, identify your range (tenor, baritone, soprano, etc...) and know how to find the notes that cover your range on a keyboard or piano. Then practice the major scale in every key moving up and down using the vowel sounds. At some point you can start working in minor scales as well. Solfege (Do,Re,Mi,...) is also an effective tool for improving pitch problems.
I hope this helps and remember dont get nervous just take a deep breath and concentrate on what your singing and dont get distracted by anyone or anything. [ Katlyn's advice column | Ask Katlyn A Question ]
