I've been working on several songs on both the Uke and guitar and really thought I was "there", ya know? but tonight I practiced with my PA set up in the living room, microphone, instruments plugged in and my family as audience...
I got so nervous I forgot how to play and forgot the songs. So I started using lead sheets but then never really put out my best voice.
With friends, jamming or around the campfire, I play and sing all day long. I know the pressure is off in that situation, but I KNOW I can do it!
SO, how do I do it on stage amplified? Any tips? Practice Practice Practice? Any techniques that help any of you get prepared that you can bestow upon me? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Plus, if I can just get through my first open mic two songs this or next wednesday, I'll have my wife video and post regardless of how bad it goes!
Thanks all!
