0599 – Vocal Confidence Through Familiarisation With Yourself

2022.08.22– 0599 – Vocal Confidence Through Familiarisation With Yourself ·        Familiarisation with yourself – we have to turn nervous self-consciousness to self-confidence. That is, moving from being aware of every element of who you are and where you are and what you are doing to a more overall approach: that you have put in the time and the training, the prep and the practice towards your performance. The work on your skillset, helping create your mindset.And part of that mindset comes from what you tell yourself about your voice and your performance: o  Do you say “My voice is horrid” OR “I have a great, unique and distinct voice” o  “That was a stupid thing I said” OR “That was great, personal insight only I could give”o  “Who’s going to listen to my nonsense ramblings?” OR “I’m so grateful that my audience trusts my take on this”Also consider how you think of your feelings at moments like this, and turn them from nervousness to confidence:o  That pounding heart is not terror … it’s your body’s very own drum roll before you perform!o  The butterflies aren’t nerves … their wings are little rounds of applause for what you’re about to say.o  The sensation of tightness on your throat is only there because your fantastic message is impatient to get out and be heard.Don’t knock yourself down, but build yourself up!
