I want to know that things will run smoothly so I don’t carry those worries with me onto the stage. I like talking to security and monitor guys, as well as the merch person. Since, at this point in my career, I always use the house sound tech, I want to feel comfortable with that person and talk beforehand, in case there are things I had concerns with during soundcheck. I like to walk around the venue and get to know the entire staff before a show. I highly suggest finding a warm up that works for you. I start off much stronger, as a result, and I can now sing through my entire set with no breaks. However, I begrudgingly began the process of performing a 10-minute vocal warm-up, which completely changed my life. So I began taking vocal lessons in New York with Kenn Hicks, “Vocal Coach to the Stars.” I had pushed against the notion of warming up, considering it useless and that of a Pop Diva. I was panicked and knew I needed to change my habits. Then I lost my voice towards the end of a set in … and it happened several times thereafter. I would hang out with my friends and drink beers, shoot the shit, never too concerned about the show. You can check out his rituals, after the break.įor a very long time in my career, I went without any pre-show rituals. In this Preshow Rituals segment, the alternative artist, Tor Miller, shares what he does before every show.
