Singing Question!!!?

Well, on next wednesday (december 12) i'll be singing with 7 other people the national anthem. we are the openers for my schools concert and i'm kind of nervous. people keep telling me i'm really great and my music teacher said i have a good voice when i auditioned but i'm still scared. i know i have to be good to be picked from over 50 people in my grade but i'm still scared. please give me some encouragement and good advice.

1) Let NO ONE know that your nervous.
2) Calm down! If you got picked for it, then you have to have the ability. Music teachers know what they are doing.
3) Enjoy yourself! Imagine that your singing in the car with a bunch of friends!

Anyway, I know how you feel. I had a solo in a choir concert last night. And I had to sing by myself in another language! Anyways, good luck! You must be really great to be picked.

thats true

Just stay away from drugs and sleezebags with video cameras. Good luck hun.

picture yourself all by yourself singing in the shower. relax and sing like nobody is listening. sing your heart out, put your soul into it but most importantly... HAVE FUN!!!!! Good luck and as they say in theatre, break a leg!

The same happened to me. I was so nervous when I used to sing in front of people that my voice would hardly come out. Over time, I gained confidence. The more I sang, the more confident I became. Just keep going and practice every chance you get. If you are really well prepared, you will knock their socks off.

Good luck!!!

I have never heard your voice I can't give you good advice.

Here is the worst that can happen though:

You enter on to the stage and slip. You pick yourself up dust of the humility and go to sing and nothing comes out. Then you forget the words. Your Bb becomes a croak and everyone laughs.

No big deal

Hallelujah Holla Back

that old saying " picture them in their underwear " really doesnt work. what I do when I have to do someting in front of a large crowd singing or speaking, is dont look at them..

you must have practiced the national anthem with this group of 7 many times, picture yourself in the practice room with them, focus on one person, not the crowd. and you'll be great..

I take off my glasses too, cant see too well w/o them, that helps me alot too..

just do your thing and imagine the crowd as a flock of birds or something that makes you smile....
