Getting ready for a live performance is like getting set for a big adventure – there's lots of excitement and a little nervousness too. As a singer getting ready to hit the stage, I've got a routine that helps me feel confident and ready to give it my all. In this blog post, I'll share some insights into how I prepare for a live performance, from the moment I wake up on show day to the final curtain call.
My Pre-Show Routine
Morning Time: On the day of a show, I start by taking some quiet time in the morning. I do some deep breathing or meditation to calm my nerves and get focused for the day ahead. It helps me feel centered and ready for the excitement.
Warming Up My Voice: Before I sing, I spend some time doing vocal warm-ups. I do exercises to loosen up my voice and get it ready to sing. It's like stretching before exercising – it helps me sound my best on stage.
Practice Makes Perfect: Practice is really important, so I make sure to rehearse before a show. I go over my songs and make sure I know them well. It helps me feel confident and comfortable when I'm on stage.
Healthy Food: Eating good food is important for giving me energy during a show. I eat things that are good for me and will keep me feeling strong. I avoid heavy foods that might make me feel sluggish.
Backstage Prep
Checking My Outfit: Before I go on stage, I check my clothes to make sure everything looks good. I want to feel comfortable and confident in what I'm wearing.
Getting Ready Mentally: As the show gets closer, I take a few moments to get my mind ready. I remind myself why I love music and why I'm excited to perform. It helps me feel positive and ready to go.
Last Minute Checks: Just before I go on stage, I make sure everything is ready. I check my hair and makeup and make sure all my equipment is working. I take a few deep breaths to calm any nerves.
On Stage
Connecting with the Audience: When I'm on stage, I try to connect with the audience and share the joy of music with them. I love feeling their energy and seeing them enjoy the music.
Living in the Moment: Performing live is all about enjoying the moment and having fun. I try not to worry about anything and just focus on the music and the crowd.
Being Thankful: After the show, I take a moment to be grateful for the experience. I'm thankful for the chance to perform and for all the support from my fans.

Getting ready for a live performance is a mix of excitement and anticipation. With the right routine and mindset, it can be an amazing experience.
