I auditioned for drama and I am only a townsperson. I was so confident cause all mi friends were like "you will get the best part". Were they lying to make me feel better? (link)

I have a question, would you have been mad at them if they had said you totally suck. Why are you so defensive over the fact you're friends are being nice. Every friend says that when another friend goes out on a limb. You're friends are supposed to be supportive. You have really good friends that are proud of you. They weren't lying, they were being good friends.

Alright, the secret to getting over stage fright is simple. Focus on what you are saying. Visualize the words you say. If you say apple, picture what the apple looks like. That is most people's problems they only think of the people they are saying it to. Try to focus on what you are doing. Stare at the back-wall if you have to. But as long as you are focusing on what you are saying and the pictures in your head then you can't freeze.

Hey! I am trying out for the school play on Tuesday, there is 100+ people trying out (some 6th, 7th and 8th graders, I am in 8th, not that it matters) but I am scared. I had Speech and Drama for 12 weeks with the teacher that is going to be the one judging tryouts, I have performed in some stuff before (our teacher picked our group to perform in front of the school with our scence from the Jungle Book, she picked me to give my speech at Grandparents Day, and I was Lady Macbeth in a play a few years back) but I am still so nervous. Anyone have any advice on trying out, how to make my acting better, things to do or not to do in tryouts, etc? It would be much appreciated, and I rate high!
Thanks!

I am all about Drama. Now, the best way to attack a try-out is to show that 1) You can take direction. Directors love it when you do what they say with out a fight over it. If they correct you say thank you. They are trying to make you better so take it to heart. 2) They want someone who can get out of their comfort-zone. If you are a class clown that really helps. But if you are normally quiet then you have to prove you can be loud. If you are normally uptight then loosen up. Directors love people that can loosen up. 3) Here's a tip on the best way to always have a consistent performance. Focus on the other actor. Quit worrying so much on how you look or how you are saying something and just focus on the scene. Your character doesn't worry about how they are saying something when they are trying to get someone out of their way. Focus on the scene. I've got more suggestions. If you want them, email me at lindsey@cpaz.net. Just so you know how experienced I am I've taken .5 years of Beginning Theater. I've completed a .5 year of Advanced Drama so far. I was on Shakespeare Team. I'm on Drama Team and I'm a scene captain. I'm secretary of our Drama Club and I'm only a freshman. So, I can help you out.
