I find doing some light stretching exercises can help!. also maybe do some total relaxation exercises!. Pretend you're on a beach, or somewhere relaxing to you, and describe it to yourself in intense detail in your head!. remember that you are a good actor to have gotten the part that you have, and that you don't need to worry about not doing a good job!. also, embrace the fact that you are a bit stage fright!. It happens to almost everyone!. Just acknowledge the fact that you're a bit scared and once you get up there everything will be fine!. Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com I'm used to performing in front of a lot of people!. Usually it's easier for me to preform if the majority of people are people I don't know!. I like to preform for family and friends, but it helps me if I'm actually doing it FOR people I don't know!. It sounds like you're the opposite!. Just pretend that they're all your friends and they're here for you!. I always just pretend that I'm showing people what I can do (and that's easier when I don't know them)!. I usually get the jitters RIGHT before I go on stage (I'm a dancer, by the way)!. Then, while I'm preforming, I feel fine!. Just do your very best and enjoy yourself!. Even if you make a mistake, people don't notice it if you're enjoying yourself (trust me, I know)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com HEEEY Meli!! Dont be nervous and I think you are a BRILLIANT PERFORMER!
