Question: I have a conspicious problem with stagefright, PLEASE HELP!!!!!?
Ok so I am attending this summerbridge program right now and everyone is doing like a skit for the first worst day of high school ever! We are all officially freshman now, and I am a very timid person and not really quiet; I mean around my friends or if you start talking to me I can be very talkative, but we have to perform and it is only 10 min!. but I am very scared because I am 14 and have never acted in front of people before, please help me, please! And our idea is really stupid and I need some tips to overcome it, I am thinking about skipping for tomorrow and friday I mean it's not like school so I don't care but I just have to decide today because it is tomorrow and I feel extremely frightened and I already have anxiety problems!.!.!.!.*sigh*Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you should definitely go!. And it's really better once you're up there and in the moment!. Especially if there are stage lights on you, because you can't see the audiences faces at all!. They're just a dark figure!. It's natural to be nervous, but once it's over you can say you've done it!. Getting up on stage is very hard to do, but that's what makes it fun!. I know how you feel, I'm the same age as you and have stage fright!. But it'd be better to face it now and get it over with so you can laugh then wonder and be even more terrified of the next time you have to do an oral report or something!. Good luck!!!!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Pretend no one is there!. Or imagine the audience in their underwearWww@QuestionHome@Com
Laugh alot before and think about how every one will be so proud!! Your doing it with the other people who love to do this and even they have ruff times!. Just ignore that anyone is out there and youll do great!.
Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
