As a singer, your working days can be filled with excitement and energy, but they can also be stressful and overwhelming. To help you navigate through your busy schedule with ease, here are some expert tips to make your singing days less stressful.

Organise Your Day Efficiently

Start your day by creating a schedule that includes time for vocal warm-ups, rehearsals, and breaks. Prioritise your tasks based on their importance and deadlines to ensure a smooth flow throughout the day. It's also important to deal with tasks that aren't urgent but are important. If you leave these tasks too long they become urgent and bring about unnecessary stress.

Prepare Set Lists with Precision

Take the time to prepare your set lists in advance, ensuring that the songs flow seamlessly and cater to the audience you will be performing for. This will help you maintain a consistent energy level and keep the audience engaged. Reference emails and any past meetings with clients and make sure all the important must have songs are included in your set list.

Set a To-Do List for Each Gig

Before each gig, create a to-do list that includes packing your gigging equipment, checking the venue's sound system, and confirming the performance details with the event organisers. This will help you stay organised and focused on the task at hand. Things on your to do list could be as simple as take time to warm up, stretch, meditate, work out or loading the car with equipment, calling the venue, liaising with other musicians etc.

Ensure Your Gigging Equipment is Ready

Always double-check your gigging equipment before leaving for a performance. Make sure you have extra leads, batteries, and any other necessary accessories to avoid any last-minute technical difficulties that could disrupt your performance. Don't stress on the way to a gig thinking if you have enough batteries to last the job or are your leads working properly.

Use Gig Checklists for Peace of Mind

Create gig checklists that include all the essential items you need for each performance, such as microphones, stands, cables, and lyric sheets. By following these checklists, you can ensure that everything is accounted for and avoid any unnecessary stress on the day of the gig.
