5 Qualities to Look for in Singers for Wedding and Event Performances

To fulfil the promise of a remarkable experience for your wedding guests or event attendees, it’s important to get the right singer. When searching for vocal talent, look for wedding singers who have an engaging stage presence, strong vocals, and versatility across genres.

Professional Demeanor and Appearance.

In addition to making sure your singer is well-rehearsed and skilled in their vocal craft, you should focus on their professionalism as well. This means having an appropriate demeanour for any event and taking the time to plan a great outfit for the performance. The singer’s appearance can set the tone for the entire show, so make sure they are presentable and make a great impression on guests!

Also, consider things such as their punctuality, overall presentation, their attention to detail when preparing for their performance, and generally how they conduct themselves. An experienced singer should have a comprehensive plan in place and be able to answer important questions about sound checks and scheduling. They should also know how to interact with guests without being overly invasive. And, of course, they should look great on stage in front of the audience! Make sure your singer takes the time to put together an ensemble that reflects the atmosphere of your event and that they feel comfortable in so they can focus on performing each song beautifully.

Versatile Repertoire.

The ability to sing a wide range of music styles and genres is important. Having an extensive repertoire can ensure the right kind of songs is chosen to effectively set the mood for your event. Generally speaking, singers should have experience in performing various popular songs, both classic and contemporary, that span several genres.

Good Pitch, Vocal Range and Strength.

When looking for singers to perform at your wedding or event, it’s important to consider their abilities in terms of pitch, vocal range and strength. This can be tested through a formal auditioning process. Pay attention to the singer’s pitch, as they should demonstrate good control over all notes they attempt. Listen to see if they possess a wide range of pitches, reaching both deep and high notes effectively. Strength is also important; it demonstrates that the singer has control when sustaining loud and long notes.

Authentic Musical Expression and Engagement with the Audience.

Beyond the ability to hit all the right notes, it’s also important that the singer can engage with the audience and convey a genuine emotional connection with the music. Your hired singer should be able to create an authentic musical expression which excites and inspires the guests. Emotional engagement is key in conveying feelings like joy, hope or love; remember, someone’s voice can trigger a range of powerful emotions as well as provide entertainment.

Confidence in Performance and Logistical Arrangements.

An experienced singer will come with not only vocal talent, but also confidence in performing live. This is essential when it comes to dealing with changes in the day. Whether it’s a change in timing or location, they should be able to confidently and quickly address such variables as they arise on the day of the performance. You need to make sure that your hired singer feels comfortable and adaptable when it comes to working out details like staging or sound that can often have an impact on their performance
