Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is what i did when i first had stage fright : Think of the audience and your family as coming to see you because you are a great star , that they really want to see you because you are going to give them something that they have been waiting and waiting for and for you it's just another performance - no biggie !.That way you almost reverse the pressure onto them :P If that doesnt work - just dont look at the audience lol ! I also did this ! Look just above them or at another actor etc , and just imagine they arent there , that you are singing to an empty room :) I like doing this :) I did that also , both of those work for me - also dont think too hard about what you are about to do , just let it be spontaneous - if you think about going on stage , starting up your next song etc , you will become much more nervous and more likely to stumble over your words!. Just let instinct and nature take over for a little while- and what ever you do try to enjoy it - enjoy the positive response you get and use this to boost your confidence ! you do get over it honest , and then you enjoy it !!. oh good luck and have fun :) ! xxWww@QuestionHome@Com pretend that it is your class you are performing for not your family and friends !. i get so scared to sing in front of people !. so i couldn ' t help you there!. !. !. but when i ' m acting i feel so comfortable !. it 's like i belong up on the stage and i only really feel myself when i ' m on stage !. !. !. good luck though !Www@QuestionHome@Com envision yourself wowing them all (which you probably will if you got those solos!), imagine the best case scenario before you go on stage, the adrenaline rush will completely wipe out any fear you have!. I use thsi technique for school plays and even horse shows and basketbal gamesWww@QuestionHome@Com Girl, have some fun! I am a actress, a pro, and I do this every time!. They are there to watch you, and you must be amazing if you got TWO SOLO'S!! Www@QuestionHome@Com act like they are not there, that it is just you alone with your actor partnersWww@QuestionHome@Com |
