Western Classical Vocalist
Being a vocalist and a diva is no easy task . Every aspiring woman singer wants to perform on stage and get applauded for their fantastic vocals . No matter how spontaneously art can be , some small yet effective tips will help a western classical vocalist become a diva on stage . These might be quite easily overlooked , but with applying them , the mediocre vocalist in you can become a diva and set the stage on fire . Here are 7 pro tips exclusively for Score magazine readers :
1 . There is no end to practice : No matter how many applauses you get for singing out of the world , it is not the end and there is no guarantee that you would come to the same level of performing . Solution for this is simple : practice , practice , and practice .
2 . Don ’ t Overestimate Your Singing Skills : There might be friends , audience and family calling you an Adele or Billie Ellish , do not overestimate or feel great about singing . Always be grounded even when you are overloaded with compliments . We are not saying don ’ t ignore them , but take them as a direction to practice even more .
3 . Learning is the key : Most of the people feel that learning should stop somewhere as perfection has already achieved . Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity for learning new aspects and singing techniques . In short , there is no limit for perfection .
4 . Connect with the audience : Being a diva doesn ’ t mean singing for yourself . It is narrating a wonderful song to the audience and win their hearts . Communicate with them through your stylized vocals . This brings amazing connect between you to the audience .
5 . Strike a Tradeoff Between Style and Humility : Being a diva obviously demands style . Take Tina Turner for example . She is incredibly stylish but at the same time sings like a storm .
This is what we call “ Stage Presence ”.
6 . Your Song Rendition is a Story : By performing on stage , a diva is not just singing , but also narrating a story because singing is storytelling . Every song has a graph which the vocalist has to bring the kinesthetic experience to the listener .
7 . Use the stage to your advantage : Performing as a diva doesn ’ t mean standing at one place and rendering a song . Flow like a river through lilting vocals and gliding throughout the stage and it brings a fantastic vibe in the auditorium .
These tips will surely help a beginner or an expert to be a diva performer .
