Special
rules for singers:
Rule 1. Don't expect
everyone to know your songs. Buy a good cheat book and be
familiar
with the melodies of all the songs in it. Don't be ashamed to
sing out of a cheat book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
Rule
2. Bring your all your friends. I don't know why,
but singers always have fun friends.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
Rule
3. Allow time for all of the players
to solo before you end the song.
|
|
|
Rule
4. Don't touch the mic. (Feedback) Avoid moving
the mic.
Adjust the mic stand
once at the beginning. Don't tap on the microphone.
You are there to sing.
|
|
|
Rule
5. Jams never have enough singers. You
can make the song great.
|
|
|
Rule
6. Get the audience involved.
You can be a star - but share the spotlight with the group.
|
|
|
Rule
7. Sell the song. Don't stand still and sing.
Move! Singing is much more than noise from
your mouth. Dance, if you can. Your voice reflects what your
body is doing.
Blues is emotional by
definition. Make your whole body reflect that emotion.
|
|
|
Rule
8. Lead the band. In a song with a singer, you
are usually the leader. You call the
stops and choose the soloists. If you aren't going to lead the
song, make sure some else does.
