How do i sing like a pro?

Question

What are the important factors to take note in order to sing on stage like a pro?

Answer 1

Be it competitions or performances, here’re 10 points to note to sing like pro.

1. Suitable song for self – It is important to understand your vocal capabilities well and therefore to choose a song that enhances your strong aspects, without exposing your weak aspects.

2. Suitable key of song – it is UTMOST important to choose the right key to sing. See whether you are able to hit all high notes of the song without going off-pitch. If not, drop a key. Alternatively, if able to hit all high notes but with struggle, drop a key as well. Low keys are often neglected though at times they may play an important part too. Of course, take high side as priority whether a higher key is allowed.

3. Suitable song considering venue:

a) At the heart of a shopping mall, it will be better to choose songs that attracts attention, at the same time makes you look good while presenting the song on that big stage. It is also important to know whether the sound system used in the competition has much reverb or not. Much reverb would very much affect hearing, therefore do choose a song with clearly audible intro music, with easy-following rhythm.

b) An auditorium where acoustic distributions are at it’s best, it is okay to choose a slow ballad.

c) Smaller indoors like in a café, it won’t be good to choose a song with heavy background music cos’ it will sound too noisy for a smaller place.

4. Suitable song considering attending audience:
You won’t wanna sing Eminem or Pussycat Dolls in front of old folks, don’t cha.

5. Physical expressions – singing is just like acting. Do groove a little while singing a fast song; do appear like you are madly in love while singing a ballad; and do look sad while singing a heart-breaking song.

6. Oral factors – be sure to pronounce words clearly, with efficient lip movements. Common mistakes are lazy lips and soft voices.

7. Volume control – loud is not always good. You won’t wanna see people covering theirs ears or glasses breaking. When it comes to parts where shouting is necessary (like what Christina Aguilera does best), do remember to pull back your mic.

8. Stage presentation postures – do appear confidently when on stage. You’ll win good impression from judges or audiences if you are good in hiding your nervousness to the least.

9. Appropriate dresscode & image – simply dress according to your performance nature. Leather jackets will be fine if you’re doing a Bon Jovi song. Strictly no-no red-green spiked punk if you’re singing a Don McLean or David Gates. Of course, no obligations if you choose to be an extremist.

10. And don’t forget Manners! It’s all about how people look at you through your stage etiquette.

Answer 2

Everything donnie said, but also, get some classical voice training. You can take private voice lessons or applied voice classes, and that should help you improve your performance. Also, if you can't sing all that well, actually PERFORMING is essential. You need to get in touch with a song by interpreting the poetry, or else it will come off as forgettable at best.

Answer 3

For heaven's sake....don't hold the microphone too close to your mouth....too many singers almost eat the mic....especially rock singers....when they do this you can't understand the words. Enunciate. Prat ice singing in front of a mirror. Try not to keep your eyes closed the entire time. Don't just stand in one place...the only person who ever got away with that successfully was Roy Orbison (the "stick man")
Move around and incorporate some hand motions (and not just pointing at the audience)

these are only some ideas and choices you make to sing like a pro--BEFORE you put your voice out there for praise or condemnation.
PRACTICE until you become the song. and visa versa.
