You have to get over your stage fright!. Really, the only way to do this is to just get up there and do it!. Its hard because you are so young--normally I would recommend going and doing karaoke, buuuuut that, at least in my experience, has always happened in bars!. Keep an eye out, though--perhaps you can find a place where you can go as an under-ager!. In the mean time, try out for anything and everything--if this is what you want to do, now is the time to get over your stage fright, not later!. Community theater/musicals as well as your school shows!. Try out even if you aren't interested in the show--you will probably get some good critiques from the directors you audition for, plus the more you do it, the less nervous you will be!.

I remember I had this problem when I was younger!. I took singing lessons and I could sing fine infront of my friends and close family but on stage I sounded like a lamb because my voice was shaking so much!. I used to sing, dance, play piano, act, violin!. Now, I do nothing because after that one embarrasment, I developed stage fright and ever since then I always get it everytime and I can no longer perform!. I won't even touch the piano infront of my family and I love and miss it so much!. If this is your true passion, do something about it fast before this happens to you!. I have a feeling my life would have been somewhat different if I overcame my fear!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they say that even the biggest stars from rock n roll
professional athletes to public speakers
get butterflies before they go on stage or to preform
Its told that Jim Morrison from the doors had stage fright so bad he could not look at the audience
He is one of the all time greats
I don't believe you would ever wish to get rid of being a bit nervous
because then you will always remain humble
for to become over confident means a performance not totally from the heart

Always leave the door open for mistakes then be able to laugh at them
Have you ever seen the show bloopers
the greatest stars make mistakes they laugh at them
then it becomes a great show with in itself
Sing as of the whole world is your friends and family
because in a sense they are
then you shall always have fans no matter where you are
peace
