Question: Drama Performance tomorrow! Nervous!.!.!.help!!?
Ok, this is a little pathetic, but I am so nervous because tomorrow in Drama Class I have a performance!. My partner wrote the story because I was absent when we were writing it!. Our teacher picked partners for us and partnered me up with him!. When I first looked at the script, I DID NOT like it!. We had to perform it for another group for dress Rehearsal day and it was so embarrassing!!! They were looking at us like we were freaks!. I don't know what to do because I don't want to make a fool of myself, but then I don't want to hurt his feelings either!!!! What do I do!?!?!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't have to hurt anyone's feelings!. Tomorrow go in front of the class, and if you have to, pretend to be confident!. Eventually you'll feel confident!. Don't worry about looking stupid!. Everyone is doing it for the grade and everyone feels stupid!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

A real actor can push through!. If you make a mistake dont say "oops" and do it again, unless its a crucial part of the storyline, just skip it and continue on, nobody is going to know you messed up expect for you and your partner!. If youre really nervous just dont think about the audience, pick one person that would appreciate the most, even if you messed up or not (wether they are at the preformance or not) and just imagine them sitting by themselves smiling at you, it really works!Www@QuestionHome@Com

tell that person that you can't do that because it is not like you to act like that!. orr you can tell him you broke your leg!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
