Some people say to keep your eyes on the door at the back of the auditorium or the exit signs, but if you do you won't be able to connect with the audience!. It's important to make some eye contact!. Honestly, people want to see you do well!. Just remember that!. No one goes to an event in hopes of seeing someone fall off stage, or embarrass themselves!. We want a good show, so that we can be like "wow"!. We don't want to go home feeling blue b/c we feel bad for the girl who forgot the words to her song or was so petrified she couldn't utter a word!. In my experience it helped to look into the audience!. You'll be amazed to see how many people are smiling at you, or bopping their heads to your song you're singing!. My advice is to envision yourself getting on stage and playing your instrument flawlessly!. Then imagine a standing ovation!. Imagine winning the contest or bringing the house down!. You'll be fine!. Just meditate on that over and over and relax!. Oh, and don't forget what I said, just know that people want to kick back and see a great show!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The best advice that I can give is don't think!. Really, don't even let yourself see the audience or think about them watching you!.
also, try staring at exit signs, that'll help keep your eyes out at the crowd but you won't be looking at them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
