I have procrastinated this spring in getting ready. Well I've procrastinated and allowed things to distract me.
But I'm getting there now (better late than never?).
- I go over my music, being sure that I understand every aspect of the pieces, from the notes to the text and the context.
- I visualize myself performing and the performance going perfectly.
- The week before a performance I try to get to bed as early as possible and get plenty of rest.
- I take time to pray and meditate and ground myself.
- I cut out all alcohol and up my water intake so that my cords, and the rest of my body, will be hydrated and working smoothly.
- I try to avoid dairy because I've found that it increases my mucus production.
- I avoid situations with lots of people, where I would be required to talk loudly or talk a great deal. I try to talk less and not put any additional stress on my voice.
