5. Organise your stream! Take a couple of minutes to wrap your head around the stream itself. Do you have a specific schedule for it, or are you going for a bit of late night chaos? Depending on your style, either is a good choice, but keep your intent in mind!

4. Organise your space. Make sure your streaming space is ready for action. Are your cameras set up? Mic checked? Hand-cam materials on hand? Tech issues can cause stress mid-stream, so preparation can be an important tool!

3. Breathing exercises. Get that oxygen pumping! Breathing exercises can help round out your voice, reduce nerves, and help you develop your vocal range and strength.

2. Check your posture. It can be easy to pull a shrimp, so un-shrimp yourself before you start. Your back will thank you later (and a few hours into your stream)!

1. Hydrate. Get yourself something you can drink while you start streaming. Keeping hydrated can help calm your nerves, but is also super important for anyone working with their voices.
