well I'm not a shy person so I think I can help you I sing so yea. What you should do when you look out into the audience you should look past them or try not to look at them act like nobody is their but you and the other actors . Just like you hangin with yo friends. Just clownin. my father is an actor . Practice in front of yo family, and put some attitude in ya dig. you got this girl!!

hmm

How do you know you act really well when you're alone, if there's no other actor in the room to play your role against or react to, and no audience???? Acting when you're alone isn't acting. Its talking to yourself, LOL!

The whole point of acting is pretending to be someone you're not, in front of other people, and doing it convincingly. If you're too shy to act in front of an audience, or in front of other actors, then you're too shy to be an actress, never mind becoming famous at it.

IOW, the only way you're going to become an actress is to get over your shyness.

First off, a lot of actors are shy offstage. I am one of them.

My advice is to stay in school and learn your craft. Very few people just 'happen' into acting and make a career out of it. Stay in school if acting is what you want to do, get an education and go from there.

Remember, when you lose your nervousness you get sloppy. Use it to your advantage and hang in there.

The more experience you have on stage, the more confident you will become. Look for as many opportunities to be in front of an audience as you can. Soon, you will own the stage!

Best of luck!
