Room-temperature water is best.Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.When the song ends, END IT. Watch for the cutoff.Learn your range and your change.Arrive early to a show.Eat healthy. Not too much, not too little.Stay home when you’re sick.Sing with confidence, not just volume.Engage your audience.Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.Turn your pages early.Read the Tips for Singers pages - lots of good info there!Learn some music terms.Follow your director.Smile when you sing!
