What Susan Says
"I always ask my new students what they think they need to work on in their lessons, and almost all of them answer: "Performing skills!" Whether they are beginning or very advanced, most singers feel that they have work to do when it comes to delivering a fantastic live performance. Many voice coaches are wonderful at teaching vocal technique, but can't or won't help their singers polish their performing abilities. I wanted to offer a step-by-step process that singers could use at home to make their performances as powerful as possible.
One of the performing issues I wanted to address in this book is stage fright, because so many singers have told me it's a problem for them. Most of us have it and we think we're the only ones! There are so many things a singer can do to conquer their fears about performing, and the book includes lots of information on the subject.
Another area that many singers want help with is how to do really well at singing auditions, including national talent contests like American Idol. Because of this, I've included loads of tips and and exercises to help auditioning singers.
I work with a lot of artists sent to me by record labels and producers. These developing artists need to do everything possible to outshine all the other new artists out there. Developing a really solid, really authentic performing style is essential for them. I'll teach you everything I teach them."
Tools You'll Need for Singing Live
You need a few basic tools to use Singing Live effectively:
-
A large mirror, preferably full-length, in your bedroom or rehearsal space.
-
A camcorder, DVD camera, or other way to film yourself. Though not absolutely essential, this is an invaluable tool.
-
Backing tracks, if you don't play an instrument. These can be karaoke CDs or piano/guitar tracks.
-
Some way to record yourself and your backing tracks as you prepare your song for the performance exercises. This doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive-- a cheap cassette recorder will do.
-
[Optional] A notebook.
