Open your mouth to sing!
Count the rests - all of them!
Check your posture - face forward, not straining up or down.
Engage your audience.
Sing with confidence, not just volume.
Learn your range and your change.
When the song ends, END IT. Watch for the cutoff.

Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.
Watch your director.

Smile when you sing!
Keep your music in order.
Keep hydrated. Room-temperature water is best.
Stay home when you’re sick.
Arrive early to a show.
Listen to your neighbours, not just yourself.

Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.
