What to do for the upcoming talent show?

What can I do to pump up my talent show performance ?

• My Talent Show is next week and I am under so much pressure because everyone is expecting ALOT out of me because I won the last two Lip Sync Competitions but now i'm in the talent show and i'm singing an upbeat song. What can i do to get the crowd pumped up ? The last two years for my lip sync I threw out bead necklaces and glow sticks and the crowd went wild ! But they might be tired of it so what can i do now. Thanks So Much !!

• Answer:

  Get the audience involved in your performance! is there a place where they could clap? are there lines in the song where you could point out certain people in the crowd and sing to them? These are always great ways to get the crowd involved without involving props, etc. Also, make sure you smile and are really energetic. The audience can tell if you love the song and you are really into what you are singing. Make sure you know exactly what your song means so you can portray those emotions to the audience. The hardest part of performing IS entertaining. I went to college for music and I STILL am not very good at entertaining a crowd! I hope these tips are helpful!
