My Performance Preparation Routine
I have a gig this weekend... Just 4 song, but I want every performance to be full of magic musical moments where my audience is carted away to where each songs take place. I must do more performance preparation than when I used to perform regularly.. and I thought you might it helpful.
A few days before:
A few days before:
- I stop eating hardly any junk food (OK, confession...I'm a nutritional hypocrite).
- I up my physical exercise routine.
- I up my consumption of water and of healthy foods such as fruits, veggies & lean protiens
- I start intensive vocal exercise warmups and practicing songs (1 hr per day or more)
- I get enough sleep (for me, 7 or 8 hours) and avoid late night work.
- I continue above 5 steps.
- I double-check gig details (gig location, time of soundcheck & show, people I particularly wanted to invite.
- I figure out what I'm wearing. Stressing out the day of can zap energy.
- I double-check my schedule to see that I haven't loaded my performance day down with appointments or other work. Sometimes I will cancel something.
- Again I do physical warmup, eat smart and hydrate fully.
- I warm up and practice the show once.
- I check any equipment (keyboard, cords, etc) and music/lyrics that I need to bring.
- I try to have enough time not to rush getting ready so I stay in a center of peace.
- I get to the gig with 'chill out' time to spare; I minimize talking til my performance is over.
