Interact with the crowd. At my first show that made for a lively set. It's great to do that in between songs so you can properly set each one up. Start high energy, move deeper, end high energy.

Of course, you may go a different route. Have fun with them though. Some people make the mistake of talking at the crowd instead of to it. People don't respond to that. They might like your songs, but they won't interact with you like you might want them to.

Skylar Grey made that mistake at Lollapalooza and ended up getting upset and finishing her set frustrated.

move around somewhat, don't be "stiff", stare thru the crowd or look at back wall, don't sound dull, maybe don't drink or drink lil, w/e works best i guess, no drugs, don't mumble or rap too fast, stay good pace, don't focus on your nervousness, just picture ur lyrics in ur head, don't grab your crotch or walk like a duck, keep a belt on your pants to keep your ass from hanging out, plz. thank you, the staff.
