~I know you said not to but PRACTICE!. If you get nervous you won't forget the words!. They need to be engraved in you!.
~If you get the chance go around and meet people you don't know that way you won't feel like you are performing in front of strangers!.
~Take a deep breath and remember why you are singing!.
~Remember that no one out there is there to judge you!. They are there for the wedding and no one wants you to fail, they all want to see you succeed!.
~If you make a mistake, don't make a big deal out of it, just keep going!. If you don't make it noticeable, then most likely, people wont notice!.
~Drink some water and just be prepared and already warmed up!.
Good Luck and I am sure you will do amazing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
the big key is to not be too nervous- calm down the night before and rest a little!. Its ok to be a little nervous- thats normal!. Expect yourself to be a little forgetful and out of your regular routine- write down reminders in your music, double check everything, and dont over-practice!. When I had a big preformance, it helped me a lot to write down things I would usually remember, but would probably forget on performance day!. Be confident and remember- youve sang and done this perfectly before, and you can do this!. Hope you have a spectacular performance!Www@QuestionHome@Com
