What do you do if you're struggling to talk about managing vocal performance anxiety during an interview?

A fun way that i used to practice fighting "freakout" moments during interviews. I watched various types of interview shows and imagined myself answering the questions. Other ways that I would like to practice with students is to have them to really look into themselves in the mirror , observe how their facial muscles react while warming up vocals , be comfortable, appreciate themselves and smile. Having a good rest the night before interview , prep your questions if possible. Do some research about the hosts or programme , get yourself familiar. On the actual day just enjoy the experience, just be sincere and be yourself, be attentive , focus on the questions , even if there should be any fumbles , just pick up your thoughts n move on .

Here are a selection of my go-to phrases that I have used for real when feeling nervous. The audience don't care how you feel, they care how you make them feel! Suddenly the focus is switched onto listening to what the panel are looking for? Vocally, these techniques have also stood my clients in excellent stead: Practice until it’s perfect. If you have a selection of answers then actually speak them aloud. Use the record function on your phone to assess your own answers beforehand. Pause for conviction - sometimes a pause in your answers actually shows that you are deeply considering their question. Never be afraid to utilise thinking time! Lastly, take action even when it is scary, so you can open out possibilities for yourself!

Preparation is key. If you have prepared, even if you forget what you were going to say verbatim, the fact that it’s inside of you, you will be find. You need to ask yourself all kinds of questions, allow someone else to ask you questions study the person that is giving the questions so you know the style of questions that person is going to ask. Play a game and then the game allow someone to ask you questions and give you a certain number of seconds to respond so you can start to learn how to be able to respond at a faster pace and be able to think on your feet. The more you practice things of this nature, it will enable you to be able to sing and speak more effectively

In my opinion, playing with open cards and creating transparency has always been successful. Voice and person are intimately connected, so it is only authentic if the voice is not always "clear and powerful". I would say something like "Wow, I'm delighted to be here with you today - and I can just tell from my own voice that I'm a bit excited in a positive way...". My experience from 25 years of working on the voice with many, many people: everyone knows these problems and almost everyone understands them. #interview #stagefright #jobinterview #voice #leadership #communication #ifsm

In my experience from what I do I understand anxiety and how it can really cloud your mind. What i do is breathe in and out for a few seconds then go through what I am expected to present by at least recording myself on phone just to hear and also familiarizing myself with my content so that I am aware of what I am talking about. This gives me confidence.

Learning how to use intercostal diaphragmatic breathing is one of the most useful techniques to have when you are trying to overcome anxiety. Not only will this release endorphins which will travel around your system and help to calm you down but it will enable you to think more clearly and focus on the question you need to answer. However like all vocal skills in order for this technique to be effective you must practice so that the skill becomes part of your muscle memory. Only then will you be able to implement it effectively in situations which cause anxiety.

Diese Atemtechnik empfehle ich sehr. Achte dabei unbedingt auf die Atmung ?in den Bauch“. Wenn du zu flach atmest, wirst du die Schultern anheben und merken, dass du dich m?glicherweise etwas steif wirst. Probiere das Atmen im Liegen! Du kannst z.B. morgens ein paar tiefe Atemzüge im Bett nehmen.

I think it's helpful for us to practice some breathing techniques on the daily, so when we are in a stressful situation they are easier to access. Standing on line, or driving to work are great times to take a few deep and slow breaths, on purpose, to refresh what it feels like to take that air deep into your body.

An example I have seen is myself constantly engaging in deep breathing while rehearsing at home, before a performance. Mastering and knowing how to control your breathing brings emotional balance and stability to your performance. Hence, make it a daily routine in your rehearsals, and naturally your projection and endurance limit during performance becomes stable and unwavering.

Breathing from the diaphragm powers the voice. It is the same breathing technique used in yoga. And also, used to calm nerves and anxiety before a performance. Anxiety. can cause a tense neck, head and jaw. Which stifles breathing. When breathing is stifled it inhibits correct technique and places stress on the vocal cords that can cause permanent damage.

Mentally "see" yourself on the other side of your performance, or presentation feeling great about what you delivered. Not just that it's over and you are relieved, but feel yourself being happy and proud of what you just accomplished.

One thing I have found helpful is staying positive and optimistic ahead of any performance or interview. Your mental and psychological calmness or stability during delivery or performance is solely dependent on your emotional balance and confidence. Panic brings anxiety, which can make you concede defeat even ahead of a performance, thereby resulting in stage fright and imbalance, and ultimately failure.

Hier liebe ich das Visualisieren. Stelle dir vor, dass diese Herausforderung schon hinter dir liegt. Puh ... Spüre die Erleichterung im gesamten K?rper, dass du es hinter dir hast. Und denke dir zum Beispiel: "Das ist gut gelaufen. Ich habe fast alles gesagt, was mir wichtig war und meine Gedanken wurden ernst genommen." Bleib dabei realistisch, damit dein Kopf es annehmen kann und es nicht ins L?cherliche zieht. Und sobald du die Erleichterung so richtig spürst, gehst du in dieses herausfordernde Gespr?ch bzw. startest deine Pr?sentation.

Bewege Dich vor einem Vortrag, vor einer Pr?sentation! Steige Treppen und gehe kurz nach drau?en, um einen Minispaziergang zu machen.

If you are able, get outside every day. There is a lot written about this, and for me it is vital to my health and happiness. Observing nature in action is awesome and helps to provide perspective when we get caught up in our own worries.

One thing I have discovered with my experience is that the healthier and fitter you are, the better the performance or delivery. Most stage performance requires high level of energy, passion, drive and movement. Hence, try to engage constantly in exercises, therapy, games and sports to be physically and mentally fit, thereby building the required physical and mental fitness for a lively, active and energetic stage performance, or delivery.

Lampenfieber kostet viel Kraft. Wenn du morgens so viel Sport treibst, wie selten zuvor und dein K?rper ganz ersch?pft ist, dann hat dieser auch keine Kraft mehr für das Lampenfieber. Der Kopf ist klar, der K?rper ersch?pft und du kannst mir deutlich weniger Lampenfieber in der Pr?sentation oder bei dem herausfordernden Gespr?ch durchstarten.

I am a Vocal Coach & Artist of many years I live with anxiety &OCD daily. I must align,be aware of my breathing & mind clarity. Know that this gift of being creative is a blessing use all your might with tunnel vision

Try writing the word "breathe" in your notes. We all need a reminder to breathe when under stressful moments, like delivering a presentation. Even seeing that word written among your speaker notes, will encourage you to take that second to breathe.

One thing I have found helpful is to put all my focus on the task at hand, and worrying only about having a good performance. Distraction can breeds pessimism or negativity. Mastering your emotions and concentrations during a performance is one of the best way to stay focused and calm, irrespective of the pressure to have a good performance. Believing in your capacity to deliver breeds self confidence and courage to overcome any distraction or negativity.

Nimm den Gospelchor mit! Geben Sie sich selbst Rückendeckung, indem Sie sich vorstellen, dass Sie Ihren eigenen Gospelchor haben. überlegen Sie wie viele S?nger es sind, welche Geschlechter, welche Hautfarben, welche Kleidung. Und gedanklich geht dieser Gospelchor die ganze Zeit hinter Ihnen her oder steht hinter Ihnen. Wenn Sie mal eine Gespr?chspause machen, dann singen sie "Halleluja" oder etwas anderes. Sie sind nicht mehr allein in dieser schwierigen Situation ... Sie haben Ihren Gospelchor dabei. Lange G?nge vorne auf die Bühne sind damit leicht.

Wenn man unter Lampenfieber leider, ist es nach meiner Erfahrung neben dem Training von Atmung und mind-set auch sehr wichtig, ein paar grunds?tzliche Fragen zu kl?ren Es geht ja nicht nur um den Inhalt, Lampenfieber entsteht oft, wenn nicht klar ist, dass man auch die Führung übernehmen muss, wenn man vor Leuten redet. Auch darauf sollte man sich vorbereiten. Dann sollte die eigene Legitimation gekl?rt werden. Wofür genau wurde ich engagiert? Bin ich in den Augen der Teilnehmer/Zuh?rer*innen legitimiert, vorne zu stehen? Warum brauchen die Teilnehmer/Zuh?rer*innen genau diesen Inhalt? Je klarer das alles ist, desto besser.

Perhaps it is a perfect opportunity to point out that we are all human. Performing under pressure, either at interview or during a gig, can cause anxiety. It's knowing what to do with it and about it that counts. Harness it, redirect it and befriend it. You are not required to be perfect.
