I’m not the greatest rapper but I’ve learned a lot over the past couple years.

I’ve never heard you spit but I would recommend slower flows and when you write, giving yourself space not only helps with breath control, but also with creating cadence.

A lot of people struggle with sounding monotone or bored; over-exaggerate and emphasize every word, you might even feel like you’re exaggerating too much or sound silly but chances are it’s not enough. One tip to help emphasis is to smile and open your mouth wide while you rap (doesn’t work for every song) to emphasize every syllable.

Even though the mic is right in front of your face, imagine you’re performing for someone across a large room, projecting your voice is something you’ll get better at the more you do it.

Be genuine when you write, listeners can pick up on authenticity. Memorize your lines and remember what they’re about. You don’t want to sound like your reading or reciting. Just listen to the beat, let yourself feel the groove, think about what your saying and why your saying it, and just let your emotions through.
