Question:

Preforming (anxiety, any workbooks or hip-hop books)?

How do you get over performance anxiety? Even when I think about having to preform I get sick with anxiety and I haven't even done a show or have one schedualed. Hopefully if you know something about hip-hop or emceeing it would help. Thank you!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Man...I can't BELIEVE you used 'hip-hop' and 'books' in the same sentence.... I'm rolling!

Find a simple diversion that will keep your mind occupied before hitting the stage. I pace...a buddy of mine does push-ups..another reads... and a lot of players will actually go and mingle with the crowd first, etc. etc.
