Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
A good thing to remember, especially when you have to act or speak in front of a group!.!.!. is that the people watching you WANT you to succeed!. Either because they know you personally, or because they are watching you to be entertained!. They want you to do a good job, because they want to enjoy your performance!. Knowing that the audience really is rooting for you makes it easier to do well in front of them!. They aren't sitting there crossing their fingers hoping you screw up!. They just want to watch you and feel through your performance!.

Positive thinking definitely helps, too!. Plus, when you are acting/performing, remember that you are good enough to be up there doing it, which is how you got the part in the first place! :)

Well are you just afraid of being on stage with someone else or just being on stage at all!?
Someone else :
Get to know them better, hang out with that person Alot more you you to can become really good friends, if he/she doesn't want to be better friends tell your teacher tell her/him that your partners not putting enough effort in this part to be in the play!.
On stage at all :
Pretend nobody is watching, make it as its your good time, put your head up and smile your doing the thing you love to do!.

I believe you when you say that you're good once you get out there!. That said, there's a lot to be said for simply reminding yourself of that fact!. Once you've told yourself that (just before going out there), there's nothing to it, but to do it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

just try taking big breaths b4 yur about to preform and then when your on stage preforming look at a spot on the back wall, so it looks like your looking at the audience but yur really not!.!.!. that way your wont get too distracted!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
