Thread Name: Memorising songs and performance quality
Subject: RE: BS: Memorising songs and performance quality
I'm not a professional performer. I do love singing though, so I spend a lot of time at singarounds (or recently on HearMe). I have discovered - after several embarrassing moments - that if I need the words of a song in front of me, I shouldn't be singing it in front of other people. My trick is to know the song inside out. I shut my eyes and 'watch the story'. I don't sing anything unless it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and then singing something for other people is like sharing.
