ok... practice singing EVERYWHERE! At home with family, in the car (make sure to smile and wave at the people who look at you strangely from the other car) ... and practice some breath sustaining (it'll strengthen your diaphram and prevent wobbly notes) pick any 'ol note and belt it out as loud as you can without yelling and hold it out as long as you can... yeah, you'll go flat, and get wobbly as you run of breath, just make sure you push the breath out with your abdomen and NOT your chest! do this often and when you are alone so you don't bust anyone else's eardrum... and also, if you get a chance, jump onto an empty stage in the theater or church, or wherever this thing is happening... and walk around aimlessly (to get comfortable with space) and if no-one's around start humming or maybe even belt out a few lines. Make it a habit of humming your song whenever you can too... make everything second nature and it should calm down your nerves. As for while you are actually performing (sure it'll calm you down if you focus on one spot in the back of the room, but it ain't interesting to watch)... so while you are singing... move around lil' bit and look for people you know in the audience, people you are really comfortable singing with and sing it to them! it'll make it fun... besides DO NOT concentrate so much on what the judges or whoever is thinking... have fun, have a blast and it will show in your performance...make it fun and you'll forget your worries

Stare at something other than the people and try to concentrate on it and pretend theres noone else in the room.Practice makes perfect.Dont worry about other talented singers.If you dont do it,you will regret it!

Can you sing well in front of a mirror, and no one else? You will probably be able to close your eyes during singing. Right before you go onstage, take three HUGE breaths and try to calm yourself down. Put on your favorite outfit, and make-up to make yourself even prettier. When you look good, you feel good. The tip about staring at a fixed point also works wonders, it worked with me in a recent play I was in. Good luck, and I hope you knock everyones' socks off!

SING SING AND SING SOME MORE!!! Sing around everyone..even people you don't know. Know what you're doing and have tons of fun with it. Look at your best friend when your singing and pretend your in your bedroom singing to her. And for the actual singing, try some breathing exercises. Put your hands on your belly and breath deep. Also, lie down and put a heavy book such as a dictionary on your belly and talk/sing. Good luck!
