In this blog, we’re going to be covering basic essential stage presentation and microphone technique for singers.
The first point when you are about to walk up on stage to sing is please make sure that your entrance way up onto the stage or wherever it may be is clear and you know the way to go with out obstacles. So that we’re not tripping over the stairs, leads, people or things that are in your way. So please make sure you know the way to the stage and its clear and well illuminated.
Second point, microphone technique cardinal rule! Keep the microphone close to your lips and horizontal. Especially if you are moving around or dancing when singing. In other words eat the microphone.
Pull the microphone away slightly from your lips when you’re singing louder so that the volume of your voice coming through your foldback is slightly quieter.
When you are about to start singing your song and you’re up on stage, hold the microphone away from your mouth until you start singing. Meaning do not hold the microphone close to your mouth if you were not singing because there is no need too. You want to hold the microphone Close to your mouth or lips when you’re actually singing.
And the number one cardinal rule when you are on stage singing is “never stop moving, dancing or swaying to the beat or the rhythm of the song” – I don’t need you to move around and do crazy movements but you need to continually move and groove to the rhythm or the beat of the song from start to finish. This forces you to keep time and helps you feel the song. Even if it is a slow song or a ballad if you don’t do anything else, you’re still going to look great by just swaying from side to side.
Do what you thinks feel natural up on stage – move around or do other movements that you feel natural that are going to help you express the song. So make sure that you’re moving and grooving and putting some little movements that are extending from your moves and are expressing particular words in a song. Like hand raises, hand lifts, hand on your chests e.g. You can also change the way you are holding the microphone from your left to right hand or coming into a double hand grip that the late Michael Hutchins from in INXS made famous.
Once you have you mastered the above, then move on to stage movement. Moving on stage from left to right when you’re singing and taking up the space on the stage.
