General Tips:

 

• Imagine you're in front of an audience every time you sing by yourself, like in the shower. This may help you become more comfortable.
• Don't be the first one up on stage.
• Pick a song you know most, if not all the lyrics.
• Know your vocal range. If you are a tenor or soprano, a baritone song  is not a good idea.
