Question: How can i cope with stage fright!?
I have been performing onstage for almost all my life but still have stage fright!. Im 15 and will be playing guitar tonight for my band!. We happen to be first in the talent show and i don't want to be boring and just stand there and play but I'm afriad that people will laugh at me if i try something like a scissor kick or something!.I have anxiety to and im still not in full control of it!. I know ill be fine but i want to walk on and off with confidence!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's all in the confidence!. And confidence is being confidence in knowing what you're doing thoroughly!. If you know what you are doing, then that's one less thing to be nervous about because you know all your material! Just think, you can do it!. It's all in the state of the mind!. I used to get nervous!. Just last year, I did my first high school play (and I haven't done a play in YEARS)!. I kept getting butterflies!. But now, I have passed that phase because I forced myself to by joining activities that one would normally be shy of!. I even sang a duet with a friend last week, and I wasn't nervous much!. Just think you can do it, and you will be able to! Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
