Nervous energy is good energy if you channel it in during your audition. The first thing to remember is that most people feel nervous when they perform and have learned that the high that comes just after this is great and worth it.

Breath in and out. Do some verbal exercises: Hubba, Ba, Bubba, Fa, Fa, La, La, La, Ca, Ca, Ca, Ca....Sa, Sa, Sa, Sa....These exercise open up the tongue and keep you from stuttering (speech teacher).,,,continue with as many letters as you can....

Do your best. If you weren't good you wouldn't have booked the audition. Enjoy this feeling of anticipation and possible success. It is in doing what we love that true success lives....the after result is just the product of this. The audience is always on your side, they want you to do well. Remember that.

First lesson - make sure your tongue is not touching the roof of your mouth. Dunno why, but this works to calm most people a bit.

Just take a deep breath....remember what is meant to be will be.... ask God to give you peace about this... you want to always be at the right place at the right time.... God will give us directions ...... will for our life is the best.... you won't ever go wrong if your in God's will... Good Luck!!!!
