Improving your rhythm as a singer

Use your hand to tap. Often singers are singing standing up or moving around and walking around on stage so tapping your foot isn’t an option, but you can tap your hand.

I’ve seen singers do this by tapping their hand against the microphone. They hold it with their thumb, index and middle fingers, and tap with their pinky and ring finger. It can help keep the beat a lot because you’re doing something physical while singing. It’s the same idea as tapping your foot, but because the feet aren’t available you can use your fingers.

The same can be said with nodding your head or moving to the beat. They’re all methods of keeping a beat physically so that you can have a better internal beat.
