imagine that you are the character, and not just someone standing in front of a crowd pretending to be the character. wherever the character is supposed to be-be there, not on the stage. however your character is supposed to feel, focus on that feeling. whatever your character is supposed to be thinking, think about that. put in some extra practice on your lines so that you can deliver them infallibly. then break a leg ;D

Just Breath

Take a hot shower. It will calm you down. Trust me.

imagine everyone in their underwear?coz that's what i always hear

come on.. you can do it.. I've been there alot of times already but look, I'm still alive :P

Just prepare yourself for it to be the WORST bomb it could possibly be.

Then, when it doesn't go that way, you'll be pleasantly surprised, because it will turn out better!

Just pretend everything is normal your in your room all the people have dessappered just do the lines and then move on to the next parts!

just tell yourself you can do it, then you can

ok my advise to you,
take a deep breath and enjoy it
pretend like your with the actors in a room
were nobdy can see you
have fun with it
and if your nerves its fine almost eveybody gets nerves.. i know i do every show.. i usally have big parts but aprently i am always nervos i try not to think about it
and reammber after its over you'll be happy u did it and that its overwith
have fun
if u wanna clam down mabe a stress ball would help or maby if u squish something slimy
reammber have fun with it take a deep breath and enjoy the moments on the stage ;D
GOOD LUCK

Horse crap.

Nerves are good for you. Make sure you know your stuff, be nervous, and have fun. It's part of the process and perfectly natural. You probably are being over-sensitive and haven't even begun to be nervous. Stop whining. Some people get so nervous they throw up. Consider yourself lucky.
