While singing in talent show where would I stare at the whole time or mostly?/Tips for talent show?

Question

Make it so I would not have to make it seem to the crowd that im staring at nothing or making my eye seem weird. Any suggestions?

Also any other talent show tips?

Answer 1

If you're singing, always warm up your voice! It will help keep your voice from getting tired and strained. Spoken warm ups like tongue twisters will help with enunciation so you won't be stumbling over your words. If you're performing a solo, use the whole stage. It's your friend, it won't bite you unless you stand in one spot and do nothing. Keep your cool, don't put yourself down, but don't get cocky either.

A good place to look would be at a friend who is supportive of you, maybe a family member you aren't looking to impress. Someone who makes you feel comfortable. If you want to put on a good show for a parent, it might not be the best idea to watch them, trust me, I know from experience. One thing though, don't look in one spot the whole time. It'll get boring.

A good vocal warm up I do in drama club is:
What to do to die today, at a minute or two to two.
I think distinctly hard to say, and harder still to do.
We'll beat it at two, or twenty to two, a ra tata tat tata tat tata two, and the dragons will come when they hear the drum at a minute or two to two, today, at a minute or two to two.

Don't be afraid of the t's. Pronounce them as sharply as possible. It'll sound silly, but if you keep saying it over again in increasing speed, it'll work out.

And last but not least...Break a Leg!!!!

Answer 2

Hello, well, when I used to sing in the church choir and school chourus, I would always choose something like the clock on the wall or the music director to stare at! But it's aok too to let your eyes wander around the room too. Just don't loose sight of what your director may give you next. Also for a talents show, you may want to choose 1 or 2 people in the aiudiance to stare at. But if your moving around onstage watch out for the edge of it! As the results could be a disastrous part to you routine you didn't plan on!

Answer 3

You could choreograph, even if that means walking from one end of the stage to the other. Use your eyes to express the emotion of the song. Look across the entire audience.
Other tips: Be confident. You're going to do great, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Open your mouth when you sing, and use the right posture and breathing techniques. Sing from your diaphragm. You'll sound a lot better.
Smile... People want to see your smiling face. If you're frowning, they'll lose interest.
Good luck!

Answer 4

In acting, there's a thing called a "5th wall". That's the invisible wall between you and the audience. don't look at the audience (you won't be able to see past the bright lights anyway) just pretend like you're singing in your room. look up and out. pick a spot behind the audience on the back wall and stare there.

Answer 5

Make eye contact with random audience members, don't stare in any one place or you'll look dead in the eyes. Connect with your audience, smile (depending on what you are singing...), feel the words, don't just sing them. Most importantly, don't go on cold. Always warm up your voice. Avoid soda, milk & dairy a day or two before you perform!

Answer 6

I perform quite a bit in a 2 man acoustic guitar band. I usually just look at the audience and find people who are really into it and try to sing and play for them. We have a great time interacting with the audience, staff, kids, etc.

Answer 7

Look to the wall behind the audience.
