Stage techniques

1. Know the stage

Before the concert, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with the stage. Make a technical tour where you can explore every corner, learn about the layout and test the technical equipment. This will help you avoid surprises and make you feel more comfortable on the day of the event.

2. Choreography and scrolling

Thinking about how you'll move around the stage can make a big difference. Plan routes to move around during your songs and work on choreographies to enrich your performance. Practice your movements to make them look natural and rehearse them to exhaustion.

3. Lighting and visual effects

Lighting plays a vital role in a large-scale concert. Coordinate with your lighting technicians to create a set of lights that complement your music and enhance the show atmosphere. Also consider using screens and visual effects that can add an additional component to your presentation.

4. General test

Perform a complete dress. This practice should include all the elements of the concert: from the entrance to the stage, through each song, to the breaks and speeches. Invite a small group of people to give their opinions and help you identify possible improvements.

Interaction with the public

1. Meet your audience

Understanding who you are addressing will allow you to better connect with your audience. Research the demographics of the attendees and adjust your performance and interactions to resonate with them. Knowing which songs are their favorite or what style they prefer can be very helpful.

2. Visual communication

Eye contact can create a powerful connection. Look directly at different sections of the audience as you sing. This gives the feeling of personal interaction and helps keep the audience's attention.

3. Active participation

Involve the audience in your performance. Ask them to sing with you, applaud or follow certain movements. Active participation not only makes the audience feel part of the show, but can also increase the energy in the venue.

4. Use of humor and narration

Between songs, use humor and narration to keep the audience entertained. Tell anecdotes about songs, personal stories or even little jokes. This can humanize you and make the audience feel closer to you.

Physical and mental preparation

1. Physical condition

A large-scale concert can be physically demanding. Make sure you are in good physical condition to withstand several hours of intense performance. Exercise regularly and maintaining a balanced diet can be your best allies.

Vocal health

Taking care of your voice is essential. Perform vocal exercises daily and maintain adequate hydration. Avoid overtalk before the event and take care of your voice from any unnecessary effort.

3. Mental preparation

Mental preparation is as important as physical preparation. Spend time on meditation, visualization and other practices that help you stay calm and concentrate. Trust your skills and remember that you have prepared well for this moment.

Logistics and equipment management

1. Team organization

A large-scale concert requires a well-coordinated team. Make sure every member of your team, from technicians to support musicians, knows their role and has been trained to handle any event. Clear and fluid communication is essential.

2. Preparation time

Consider the time needed to assemble and test all technical and musical equipment. Give plenty of time to solve last-minute problems and make sure everything is ready before the doors open.

Music distribution
