It might help if you find out exactly what it is about singing in front of audiences that makes you freak out!.
Are you afraid that they'll laugh!? If so don't be cause they won't!.
Are you afraid that you'll mess up!? If so, it's ok to mess up!. As long as you're confident and you don't start crying or anything when you mess up then it doesn't matter!. also they might not notice if you mess up if you don't make a big deal out of it!.

Sing for your parents (awful I know) but it will help!. Get them to support you!. I'm sure they will be very proud!. And you can ask them not to critique you!. Cause that totally bugs me when my mom tells me what I'm doing wrong!.
Practice in front of a mirror, do it for your friends, maybe an Aunt or Uncle!.

When you do the actual audition don't look at anyone!. Look at the wall above their heads or the clock or something!.

A lot of people will tell you if you're to afraid to audition then you can't possibly do a good job in an awesome part!. I'm telling you, don't listen to them!. I've done about 15 auditions for musicals and stuff and I still get really nervous, but I'm never nervous for the actual play!. Practice makes perfect!. It's something you just have to work on!. Try viewing the audition as an opertunity to wow the directors not to be nervous!. also, turn the nervous energy into positve energy!.

It's your time to shine!. Remeber that and break a leg!Www@QuestionHome@Com
