Lol*
I was hoping you would include something about swinging a mic stand around without giving your drummer a concussion.
Concussion is fine - just remember you're in the firing line for snapped and dropped sticks.
tip: speed 1.25
👍👍👍
Worked!!!
I put it on 2x :v
@@KreepyJD Me too, you get through it twice as fast. :) Good tips though.
Thank you!
Always been able to sing with nobody watching but when I'm on stage in front of people it's always an awkward experience. Hate having people look at me. I don't know what to do and sometimes I get shaky and it all messes with me.
SAME but at the same time i want to be able to sing in front of an audience and i love being on stage so i've been trying to fight my stage fright for years now and it got a little better recently
Close your eyes here and there
Just close your eyes and feel the song. That's it. Try it and let me know if it works
Same here 😔 I even tend to forget the lyrics even though I've memorized it by heart
Stage freight think about your gift not the crowd love
"Use your microphone stand effectively."
Ronnie Radke: * throws into the crowd * yahahahaha xD
🤣
Yessssss I love Ronnie 😂😂❤️❤️
This is so sweet
I will apply this tips tonight in my first performance,,,,
Have fun you’ll rock it!
Nyared Bul how did you do?
OMG!!! As a singer, I had to learn "the hard way" how important these things are. If you don't master these techniques, you'll be missing at least HALF of your potential performance.
When you moved the stand back it was powerful!
"It's not just something to put your microphone on" If you're interested, Harry Styles wrote a book on how to use it as a stripper pole.
i think smiling makes you look like you're happy to be there, if you're not using your microphone stand, it just looks like noise in the picture, and the arm thing... i'm glad i've always played instruments and i still do now that im getting into singing, or i would'n know what to do with them. thanks for the advice!

This is super helpful! I usually play guitar when I sing live so I don't have to worry about what to do with my hands, but recently I've been performing with a band type setup and I've felt so awkward and would do the weirdest things with my hands so I'll definitely work on this for the next performance I have haha :)
Thank you. I need to use your tips more often. I won't be so self conscious.
I love the "arms" part; I think it's a really great tip.
Lol well I have no problem with no. 3 lol my hands are always moving in expressing emotion when I sing. Though I've never sang live concerts before (and since singing is just a hobby I don't suppose I ever will :( ) anyway I'm so glad I found this channel these singing tips are so useful.
I've always believed that the reason people lack stage presence is simply to do with relating to the song, understanding the lyrics, knowing the lyrics and then sending that message to the crowd.Hands down Bono,Bruce Springsteen Dylan Janis, these artists really got there stories thru and more so live.
Nice work, im a disc jockey but this still applies many times. Thanks for the tips.
Excellent video. I am a major performer with several awards and I agree with everything Nichola said. (I don’t know if I spelled her name correctly) It is so important to put the microphone stand behind you if you are not using it and I will also add that what can lessen the nervousness that you ,igniting feel is to really know your ,arterial and what every song means to you so that you can fully engage the audience. I wish anyone coming into this business the very best. It is not easy but you must persevere if this is your goal. Vivian Reed
Interesting. 'Tricks' (of the trade), polish and technique notwithstanding, some of which is outlined here, summarised in a word stage presence is *theatre* . Critically important for solo vocalists who become the sole focus for the audience. So vocal presentation encompasses elements of acting, whether it's an extrovert inadvertently immersed caught up in the moment without inhibition (natural actor), or method trained to reveal and expose the fragile aspects of self without regard for a potentially embarrassed ego.
Thank you for your videos! I always enjoy them and they give me tips to share with my students from a different perspective.
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful. You are so amazing!!
a few years ago before my fist performance as a singer with a band, someone told me to move my arms more. The subsequent video of me became forever known as "limp noodle arms". It was dreadful but I improved over time. I have had to face the fact that I am apparently "movement impaired". Nothing I do looks natural & everything I do looks awkward on stage to some degree so I don't try to look like a pro. There are many very famous singers who have a strange or odd stage presence so I have embraced my awkward moves and I love performing so much that I've learned to relax and be myself anyway.
This is very useful
I truly need it
Thanks for sharing
thank you for your awesome tips
all your videos are so helpful
The surfboard makes the shot look trippy lol

Good tips. Will use them for my next performance.
I like it that you help people with there confidence on stage and I enjoy watching your videos and we should talk more
Thanks for that
I'm in a metal band and the 2nd and 3rd tip would apply naturally for the style that I sing. However the 1st tip, not so much. Unless it's a crazy psychotic enjoy killing people kind of smile. Lol!!!
lol!!! This cracked me up. :))
Glad you like that. There's plenty more where that came from.
In the studio now I'll shoot you a copy of the single. Trying to work in the choreography of the smiles in the live performance.
Hi.. Thanks for your advice. That was awesome.
When i perform on stage after 3 songs i find it very deficult to maintain my voice and energy level.. How do i correct it?
I just love your "hot to" videos... all of them, thank you so much!!!
thank you
Thanks!
Good tips! One question on your 2nd tip, you suggest in general not using the mic stand, why did you suggest using the mic stand on a slower sad song?
Love you omgggg
Thank you
I think the smiling will help
What should I say to a crowd as a singer though? I'm gonna get up on stage for the first time soon and play but I don't know what I'll say to the crowd in between songs. Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated
Where were you when I first started performing haha 😂😭
Thank u🙂
Welcome 😊
thanks alot
This really helped
Glad to hear it! :)
Thanks for the secrets, i have already subscribed too
From wherw did you buy this mick
Thank you so much mam😁😁😍 very us full video👍😁
Thanks for this video! At my school we are doing the lion king this year for the production. Auditions are soon and I am super nervous. We have to sing, dance and act. I'm really excited because I'm auditioning for Mufasa, Zazu and The meerkat (I forgot his name XD)
Maddy The Loomer how did it go.
the smiling is a thing you shouldnt always use, take beyonce as an example she smiles in certain songs but in other she is so fierce and that
Yes it depends on the mood,/vibe of the song
this is a really cool video
LMAO I just found out about this amazing channel and I don't know why but I always feel like she's talking to us like a mother, a cool one though
Haha! I get that a lot!!!
thanks a lot for that! please do put more tips. thanks :D
super, you just made me your new subscriber...keep up the good work...
Thanks and welcome
If I am singing a sad song, shall I smile when I went on stage before singing?
Yep!
Thankyouu
Your voice is SOOOO satisfying
I have very long arms and I’ve always felt super insecure cause of it, i simply don’t know how to move without looking awkward lol
Miss you Nikola 😊
Does anybody know the name of the song in the end?
It's called 'No Room For Promises'. Its a song I wrote and its on my own music channel: ua-cam.com/users/nicolamilanmusic :)
cool
Thank you Sweetie, I will try that tonight if I can remember through the FEAR!!! :)
I am so sorry for all of the typos. Correction: the nervousness that you might feel is to really know your material......
To anyone that would like to see great performances on stage I would recommend watching Bobby Darin or Raphael de España live
LOVE Bobby Darin!
A problem i often face is that since im playing guitar and singing at the same time, i cant hold the microphone, so its just on the stand, making it impossible for me to be able to move around on stage. Any suggestions?
Num Nums Learn from famous singer songwriters who you admire on stage. Watch videos from Ed Sheeran or maybe some acoustic stuff that Prince has done. Eva Cassidy, Bruce Springsteen, Tori Kelly, etc
Nice one

Intro:This is Nicola milan.Ur Voice So Beautiful 💞
Thanks! :) All my new vids are now here: ua-cam.com/users/NicolaMilan
I have a performance duet today, and BURLY looking up tips.. 😂
Can you give tips how to sing stable while dancing??
#PLEASE
I have a bad kind of stage nervous
The microphone thing:
Amy Lee of Evanescence did that during her first concert of her most recent tour
Great pointers! Borrowed ideas for spoken word performance
Since I play guitar and sing I can only utilize #1. LOL :)
I wouldt do tip 1 in every situation, for example when you're preforming a sad song you don't wanna smile to you're audience cauze that will take all the emotion out of the song
yes... i look terrible when i sing. thanks
thank you my freinds said i did good at school at the talent show and i did good i knew but i just felt like i moved to much
it was scary infront of 1200 people
How do I smile if it’s a sad song?
Smile brightly before the song starts as a greeting to the audience, then get into the song with its emotions. Don't smile during the song, unless of course you're interacting with the audience, which is rare unless you have an instrumental break or you're in a group

i just subscribe to channel. get tips. im a singer songwriter looking to improve stage presence.
I see a lot of local musicians that just stand there on stage like trees, they never dance or move around and get into it.
is that surf boat or banana leaf in the back
