Continuing my series on PREPARING for PERFORMANCE, this is the 2nd week covering Performance Nerves.
1. NERVES can cause constriction, which can impair vocal range, volume & quality. Breath flow can also change, making long phrases difficult.
2. The solution is to change the energy from a “closing-down” form to an “opening-up” one, thus converting it into “performance energy”.
3. SOLUTION: Fully retract the false folds & anchor the walls of the pharynx. Correct Posture & Breath Support also need to be fully engaged.
4. A Singer can go a long way to make a performance more of a celebration than an ordeal by accepting that performing is a stressful experience.
5. By being in control of a solid technique NERVES can be changed into an energy which sustains the Singer or Actor in Performance.
