My school's choir is doing a cabaret show and I have a solo in the song "Popular" from the play Wicked. I can sing the solo very well but I have a problem with singing infront of my class. I can sing infront of other people just not infront of the class. I need to practice with everyone so I can get it down perfectly. So, my question is... How do I get rid of my nerves or atleast be able to sing without a shakey voice? I try to tell myself they will judge me no matter how I sound but it doesn't seem to help.
I remember my solo in our choir concert. I had to sing a song from the Big Band Era. My music teacher gave me good advice, she told me to look just above the audience's heads and not look at them so it really actually looks like you're watching them but you're just staring at the wall.
It takes practice, don't be nervous, if there are any other people doing solos, I'm sure that they have an equal part in being nervous also.
(Rating: 5) thanks but I can perform infront of an audience. It's just my class mates that make me nervous. There are 3 other people doing a solo in just that song. So, I guess you're right! thanks so much!
