there's no way to really get rid of the butterflies!. just get used to performing!. like me, i play piano and sing infront of about 100 people every sunday morning and nights, and now i barely get nervous anytime i perform anything!. it's nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Direct the nervous energy!. Being prepared will give you confidence to reduce the nervousness!. Tell yourself that the feelings of anticipation are is because you want to do the best job that you can!. Control your breathing!. When you begin to speak, fill your lungs with air and allow the energy to flow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
