When asked to sing, sing songs with which you are perfectly familiar.
Stand on both feet and let your chest, not your stomach lead.
If you expect to sing well, leave the tight collar, the tight corset and the tight shoes at home.
It is better to stand too near the footlights than too far back.
If you are not an expert at handling a train on the stage, don't wear one.
While waiting for the introduction to be played, don't count the footlights or the stars, but look out beyond the audience, rather in with your eyes and nose.
When holding music, never hold it high enough to cover your face from the audience.
Sing to your audience, not at it.
Try and look pleasant, even if you don't feel that way. The audience can't help it.
Never fail to give a smile or word of encouragement to other beginners who may be on the same program with you.
