Ahhh, im freaking out!!!!?

I am singing a solo on thursday for a school concert, i don't feel nervous right know but i know i may be nervous at the concert. Please give me advice on how to sing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas better or on how not 2 b nervous or messup in the middle of singing it.

i have a little trouble on when to breathe, sometimes i breathe in the middle of words and if i take a huge breathe i start coughing bcuz i just got over a cold.

Look at the music (if you were given sheet music), or even just the text, and practice breathing where there is a comma in the text. For example: sing through "Have yourself a merry little christmas" on one breath, and then take a quick breath before continuing on with "Let your heart be light . . . " That way you're not breathing in the middle of words, and you help get the text across to the audience.

And when you take a breath during the song, don't gasp as though you're desperate for air. Make it a quiet, relaxed breath; you'll get enough air, and you won't feel as though you're going to cough your head off.

*make sure you have a light meal before your concert so you dont faint
* take deep breaths
*imagine ur most favorite person in the whole world is standing in the audience and sing ( someone you feel comfortable singing to)
* practice your air support
*dont use your head voice

hope this helps

You'll be fine... by Thursday you should be feeling a lot better. All you need to do is relax and sing, it will come naturally. You wouldn't have been picked to sing a solo if no one had faith in you.

Good luck!

so you are.

four measure phrases.
carry out your phrases and finish a sentence before you take a breath.
sing from the diaphragm, don't push from the neck/throat.
have fun! it's completely normal to be nervous. I'm sure you'll do fine. good luck! =]
