Hi Himy!. "Stage Fright" actually means being nervous about performing in front of people!.!.!.!. in any situation!.!.!. stage or anywhere!. To get over it!.!.!. and I do understand your dilemma as I too have had the experience!.!.!. you must put yourself out there as many times as you can!. We get frightened by things we don't do very often!.!.!. not things we do on a daily basis!. Find things you can perform at!.!.!. say in church or go to all of the nursing homes every week!. If you really sing well and are confident in your ability!.!.!. try advertising to sing at weddings!. Find a karaoke (!?) bar or competition!.!.!. just do it!. Leave your comfort zone for the purpose of conquering this monkey on your back!. Finally, before a performance, try the 10 minutes of relaxing breathing exercises!. These are guaranteed to help you slow down and concentrate on the performance!.!.!. not your issues!. Hope I was able to give you something else to consider!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just take deep breaths, and move your arms around a bit!. the audience is not there to judge you, and you will do well, they willl clap, and they will love you!.
singing is my life, and if you love it, and you know your good, you dont have to worry!. the people are there to see what you can do, so show 'em!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I audition, many times I picture the auditioners as my old high school drama teacher, who I've auditioned for many, many times before, and who I feel comfortable around!. Maybe try imagining the audience or auditioners as friends, family, or other people you would feel comfortable performing in front of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Focus your attention on one thing the, back wall, a familiar face ect!. But if that doesn't work close your eyes and start singing with all your heart!. I mean get all NITTY-GRITTY with it!. and you can get emotional the crowd loves that!. but if your uncomfy with that before the song work the crowd start them clapping to the beat or whatnot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can't really get rid of stage freight!. If you go up on stage enough for many years, you kind of get used to it!. The best thing for you to do is just practise in front of friends and family!. It won't help much, but it prepares you a little bit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
