It depends a lot on you!.!.!.if you have a friendly face in the audience you can focus on them and just speak right to them!. If that doesn't work for you, maybe trying not to look at anyone in particular but instead looking around them might help!.!.!.move your head from side to side but don't let your eyes linger on anyone!. Finally, practice some breathing exercises and isometric exercises to help you deal with that nervous energy beforehand!. Good luck and break a leg!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I always pictured the audience naked!.!.!.except for black socks with garters on!.!.!.nobody can be intimidated by something as funny as that!.

Well, always worked for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
