Question:

What would you'll do to be able to sing in public without any stagefright or nerves?

I've inherited my dad's father's singing voice and supposedly his nerves about singing solos. I'd like to break the pattern and sing those solos just like I was able to when I was 7, 8, 9 years old. Please help me.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I agree with Pip's advice. Also try breathing exercises, such as breathing deeply through pursed lips, holding it for a moment, and then breathing out as slowly as possible, whenever you start to feel nerves coming on. The strategy is two-fold: the extra oxygen helps calm you physiologically, and the intense focus on the breathing helps you reset emotionally.

I used to have intense stage fright, too, and this technique really helped. Good luck!
