I have my first show opening up for Benny the butcher !!! But I need some advice because I have a condition that enables me from moving around too much is there anything u can give me pointers on. I acknowledge everything u said in video but need a lil more advise
I think your advice on performing and organizing making sure your performance goes according to plan to where your audience is engage with you is impeccable, I have a stage fright issue , deaf in my left ear and I don't like to move much but I must say this video is very useful and it is a shame that it doesn't have millions and millions of views because even artists in the industry can take these tips and points thank you for the valuable information and keep doing what you're doing and being brutally honest in order for performers to be successful.
Don’t be out of key; don’t be too out of time; and have a reason, a life, life experience behind what you’re doing… don’t just be a random artist. Have a reason. If you don’t, I’ll smell it; and if I do, then the audience does.
Appreciate your first point. Going through my finished songs, realizing a lot of these bedroom angsty tracks don’t translate well to gigs. People want to have fun and feel good. Time to keep writing !
Got a performance today! I know this year is about transforming into who I was destined to be. Thank you for the great advice man, it gives me some more confidence in being my authentic self while staying READY! 🙏🏽
Yes!!!!!!! Get it fam! How’d the show go?? If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
Excellent advice on all subjects. You did not mention smoking(anything.) Any smoking, if your serious about a long lasting voice. You cannot perform well if out of breath as you mentioned, is so true. The lungs go first and your left with no tone. Rap takes any voice but please guys/gals ditch the sticks and your lungs will be very happy. If/when music changes then you can use your smooth voice for other tunes.
Are you getting ready? Are you excited? I’m excited got you If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
How’d it go? If you want some staging help or choreography help in the future for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
I’m 3 years late watching this video because I was busy slaving at work. This year, I started getting back into writing and recording. This was the best video to get me ready back to performing. I haven’t performed since 2008 😮😔😂. I know long time but this was very good video to learn from. It also confirms my concerns on song selection and getting back in shape. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Nice bro! Keep finding a way to get at your dreams! If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
Been performing for a while and some very good advice here. Above all, your audience can sense confidence. Practice and rehearse until you KNOW your material. Don't go on stage with anything that's a "maybe". Do your cardio. Keep a smile on your face. If you make a mistake , don't even acknowledge it and KEEP ON GOING LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED LOL!
I have performed numerous amount of times, and still do not know how to properly execute it! Next year I’ll be performing at a huge festival and want to be better than I am. Thank you sooooo much for your insight and teachings 💗
That’s understandable. I can help with that. We all struggle with aspects of our careers. If you want some staging help or choreography help for free I got you. First verse is on me if you like I’ll give you a bunch of ideas you can feel real comfortable with turn if you want more help, 1/2 price for the second half of song.
These are actually great tips honestly, I just started street performing in LA and I have not been doing as well as I could and needed some advice to improve my act, thank you frfr
Awesome tips! Knowing the audience and the vibe of the event is soooooo key,In addition to looking good lol. Performing live is super visual so having a fly fit just adds to the visual experience.
That body posture tip is great! Being in the sweet spot with eye contact, I struggle with that a lot. I would be super interested to know what makes/breaks performances for social media too, if you're taking video requests! Thanks for the video, excited new subscriber!
Another important thing to mention is to WARM UP before the show. Days before and just before, Warm up your voice and body so it doesn't give out or strain while you're on stage.
Thanks for the great video very likable and very true straight to the point you hit all of the things that are definitely important. I haven’t been playing with a band for four years. I just started a new band. We’re gonna play our first show coming up in a couple weeks and this was really helpful and encouraging me to stay prepared.
In about a week, as the 2 time music competition winner I have to perform a song at my school. This song I chose could be VERY impressive IF I pull it off. And it also has a decently hard solo so this video is very helpful
Hey it's all about consistency and remember practice makes perfect hey don't give up I've been performing since 2010 and now Im a pro and I'm from Zim but recently in Pretoria SA and I'm rated the best performer of them all wherever I perform🎉🎉🎉

This was very helpful however stage freight is a mental issue so I ain’t got the guts to do on stage performance but I understand now go on stage remember the lyrics show no fear
That was useful, thank you. And yes being prepared makes me stand out SO MUCH from other artists and makes me look professional and reliable to the venue owner. Anything I can do to take the worry and mental load off their plate for a performance, I get hired again and again. 🙏❤️
great video! I was laughing at your delivery you just say it how it is 😂🙌🏽 another thing to add: HYDRATE 💧 sending positive vibes to all you beautiful artists out there. ✨
Hell yeah seems practical and very useful to be mindful of self and intentions while performing got a show in two days this just reminded me of what I already know love from New York
Yes and as long as you were speaking about being in shape you should talk about what to wear on stage also it just kills me some of these live performers they don’t care they were shorts flip-flops no bra its awful. Have a little pride. It makes a difference
Please could you do a video on preparing a set list for performing live shows with tracks feat other artists that can't perform on stage with you. For the hooks & chorus you can get away with it but you can't stand there for someone else's verse if there not there live. What's the best solution 🤔

Great video! Forgot one major tip: use instrumentals or a band!!! Don't get on stage and perform over the recorded/released version of your music
Don’t be out of key; don’t be too out of time; and have a reason, a life, life experience behind what you’re doing… don’t just be a random artist. Have a reason. If you don’t, I’ll smell it; and if I do, then the audience does.
Good stuff. Everything you say is spot on...coming from a guy who does 5 hour casino gigs.
This finna be helpful cos I'm doing my first show todayyy!!
+Young Kordae hope you killed it!
Man mine is this Sunday at the Pomona Fair
Go kill it!!
How did it go ?
First show in April trying to prepare
I agree with the health/fitness 100%. To add for Rappers, do vocal training/lessons! its not just for singers. Your still using your voice.
+Art Tez absolutely!! 💯💯💯
I agree you have to be in shape to perform. Nothing worse than not having the wind to sing your own song.
Appreciate your first point.

Another important thing to mention is to WARM UP before the show. Days before and just before, Warm up your voice and body so it doesn't give out or strain while you're on stage.
