Question: Major nerves for auditions!?
Ok, so I had my Willy Wonka auditions today for school!. I wasn't nervous for the audition at all!. The moment that I started singing I got nervous and tensed up and my legs started shaking and I wasn't able to project very well!. What do I do to get rid of my nerves WHILE I'm singing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
close your eyes and imagine that you are in the place that you are most comfortable singing in (bedroom, living room, den, etc!.)

close your eyes and imagine that everyone in the room is focused on a fly on the wall behind you, not you, and they aren't even listening to you!. This also helps to subconsciously make you sing louder


hope I helped!.!.!.

also, before you go on stage for any other audition, even if you are not nervous, tell yourself that it is completely normal to be nervous and that it actually helps you to perform up to your best!. A couple deep breaths and some water before you go on help too :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only way to keep singing over and over again!. The main reason why we get so nervous is we are worried that they wont like us!. We fear that so much it takes over!.

The only way is to sing everywhere and anywhere!. Sing in your car, look at the next driver over and sign your heart out, sing in the mall, sing in the hall, walk into your principals officer and sing for the ladies int eh morning !.

The only way to lose your nerves is keep doing it!. Then after a while you wont care and you'll sing well!.

i know it sounds stupid but if u close your eyes and in your head while your singing just imagine yourself in your bedroom belting out these notes!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
