If you haven’t used in-ear monitors on stage while singing, you’ll be surprised at the impact they can have on your performance. Even the most affordable models work well enough to be worth the investment and can instantly enhance your vocal performance.

I have always emphasized and continue to emphasize that the best thing anyone can do to improve their singing is to learn how to listen carefully. Listening includes hearing. By using these in-ear monitors, you’ll be able to hear your vocals clearly, and as a result, you can sing stronger immediately because it’s much easier to hear yourself. The first time I used these devices during a rehearsal with my rock band The Invictas are back - Bruce Atchison is one of my (no more available Yahoo Group) best members and he wrote this great article. Bruce is a legally blind freelance writer and the author of two books, When a Man Loves a Rabbit (Learning and Living With Bunnies) and Deliverance from Jericho (Six Years in a Blind School). The first… , after just a few songs, the band members remarked, “You’ve never sounded better!”

But that’s not the coolest part. There are various types and models of earbuds available for these professional sound systems, and many of them are sound isolating. This helps reduce the volume level on stage, protecting your ears, while still allowing you to hear your voice clearly.

The end result of this is that you’re preserving your hearing. Additionally, you’ll likely find that you’re less fatigued at the end of a performance or practice when you use them.

The in-ear monitor device I purchased was one of the cheaper models available. Generally, I wouldn’t recommend buying the cheapest option, but since I wasn’t very familiar with using them and wanted four receivers so that the rest of the band could use them too, I decided to save some money for this occasion. However, I will definitely upgrade to a better system in the next year or so. It has already proven its worth to me many times over!

If you’ve ever wondered how you can hear better on stage (without damaging your eardrums) and improve your vocal performance at the same time, this is the way to do it! Now that I’ve used them, I will never go back to using traditional stage monitors again.
