I do two things when I begin performances:
1) On my initiative I reach over and play trololo for about 15 seconds at a volume just under my voice.
2) I put a card folded to stand up that reads "+3 Inspire Courage" on both sides on the gaming table near the combat so everyone can see and does not forget to add the bonuses. Is also details the specific bonuses in smaller writing beneath the main statement.
Trololo is obviously hilarious, but it keys everyone in that something changed, and the card is bright orange construction paper so they get another reminder. Now the party asks how much trololo I have left for the day, so I'd say it's effective.
I am a trololo bard, too! Also, I use cards to indicate common buffs that I provide.
