Question: How do you get enough confidence to perform in shows and stuff!?
I love to sing, and I don't mind dancing!. The thing is, I'm shy when it comes to being on stage, but I would love to be able to have the confidence to just get up there and perform in front of lots of people! I got so nervous when I was auditioning for the school show last year, even though I made it into the corus, I would like to get a bigger part in the next musical, but that may involve acting! :O So does anyone know how I could get rid of my shyness and go for it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well I got over it by just doing my best!.!.!.I have yet to get a lead, but still I got confidence, I say practice in front of your family or even a mirror, record your self singing/acting/dancing w/e you chose!. Let there be no fear, because if there is ppl will see it, and if you want a lead role, or even a shot uhmm people wont give it to you, so believe in yourself, and start off at the bottom thats how most actors do it!. Most off have heart and have confidence b/c that is what acting is!.!.!! I hoped I helped

Try your best! Think of it as you are just bored with a bunch of your friends and you decide to sing for them or act or dance or whatever! And when on stage, don't look at the people watching you, look straight ahead at the back wall!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
