Seeking advice as a chazzan in training

+2
−0

As I am training to become a chazzan, a prayer leader, I'm constantly beset by critiques by the community, regarding "you should've done X differently."

There's certainly many points which will vary wildly based on the physical location (ex. volume) and on the community (ex. how much singing, what types of songs). With that said, suppose that a new chazzan like me were to come to your regular minyan to daven: what would you like such a chazzan to know? What general advice would you give to such a chazzan?

I actually am training to become a chazzan, and I actually am interested in the community's response to this question. That said, this question also serves as a test case for https://judaism.codidact.com/q/276955, so please bring any comments about whether we should continue allowing these types of questions to that discussion.

It may be better to ask this the other way: what questions should a prospective chazzan ask of a new-for-him minyan?
