2. Practice your song so much you can perform it in your sleep.

3. Volunteer to help do the work of running the open mic, setting up chairs, PA, cleanup afterwards. You might get the opportunity to help upgrade the monitoring experience for the players.

1. I have never heard that before. I'm not a singer and I can hear myself when I try to sing. But it was my guitar playing I wanted to hear.

2. I do that ... but still I get stage shock and lose myself in the middle of a break or fill-in.

3. That I will do as I've become friends with two of the leaders. And I would like to know the setup they use and I may even lend a monitor if I can find something not too expensive.
