hii candie, here's some pointers.
1. relax your body, loosen it , release those tension on ur neck n chest, warmup ur voice. u dun wanna have an uptite feeling cuz dat'll lead to nervousness. get the song list for the gig n run it tro. drink plenty of water at dis time not onstage, cuz it takes 20mins for the fluid to be absorbed in your body.
2. read n study the crowd roughly 1 hr before ur show. look out for the happening ones, the quiet ones, those who really listens to the band or those who act like social butterflies. see who smiles n who dont.
try to make mental notes of them n use it in your stage dialogue. create a one liner jokes abt the funny incident earlier dat made the whole audiences took notice. compliment audiences, like how lovey dovey that couple at the corner over there or how nicely dressed she is..
3. mingle ard the audience, smile alot n have a chat with them telling them your band's slot n wat genre u play..if u approach them well, they will wait till ur band's turn n have a listen. dat way also ppl wont be shocked wen they see u perform. n u will be assured of performing infront of new frens rather than strangers..
4. tape the gigs, cover all angles include as much audience as possible. later on u can review the audience's response to your show n make proper adjustments to dat.
5. cast/dress yourself according to your musical genre onstage. no way u wanna paint ur face like a def metal band but u play original ballads. tak kena lah!! however, do be the star you tink u are, your the one who controls the mood of the ppl. use watever mental notes u have over the course of ur show.
6. if there is a mistake in the band (like wrong cue in) or u forget a verse; these tings happens lah, try not to show it, rather turn back n signal ur members the right cue n for your part to sing. this nids practice at the studio however. take notice how u guys react to mistakes then make proper ammendments.
7. pleassee, oh pleassee smile profusely n enjoy the way from perfect gigs!!
