Sing in front of your family and friends. If theres an open mic in the area sing at that. Those really help you get over your fear of playing/singing in front of people. I was really nervous about my first one but i did fine and at the next concert i wasnt nervous at all. ]
Well i used to be nervous in front of crowds, but I was in a lot of plays and everything when I was little, this is REALLY hard, but pretend you're the only one singing and no one else is out there, and if you're scared to make mistakes, its no big deal, if you make one, don't make it obvious and just keep going. Have the time of your life. And try to sing in front of your neighbors or something or throw a mini concert for your neighborhood, thats what we do sometimes. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make it through!
Hope I Helped!

I think you should do a "slower song" to show off your voice! Like you could do Angels by jessica Simspon or you could do something like Breakaway or Moment Like this by Kelly Clarkson or you could do this song from A walk to remember Mandy moore sings it in the play i dont remember what it is called but ya. I hope I helped and GOOD LUCK! ♥Andie ]
Let me help! I'm in a band and I will give you some advice. To decide what song your going to sing depends on your favorite genre of music {pop,rock,gospel,alternative....etc}. After figuring that out just calm down, and everything should be fine. Take a long hot bubble bath before the show, to relax your nerves.{ that's what I do}. Don't stress out, you'll be fine. ]
You have to believe in yourself. If your as good as you say you are then you will have no problem. Your doing something you love! so you shouldnt have a problem with it. Just member that even if you dont do good theres always other chances out there for you. Good luck

Try praticin gin front of your family and friends. The more you pratice the easier it will be to proform in front of an audince. Trust me i got that way before I had to do a clarinet solo! ]
Don't worry. When you go up to sing if you have to face the audience(If there is one) just look right above their heads. It will look like you are making eye contact with the audience. If this is your first competition don't worry about it, because it will be a learning expirence for you. On the day of it just make sure you warm up and just relax.

i'm a fellow singer as well. all i cansuggest is that u avoid anything that causes allergies, because that can cause your throat to close up, and u wont be able to sing. lay off the cafine, it hurts your vocal cords. also, drink hot tea w/ honey the night before, and morning of. it will help clear out your throat and help you sing. make sure you warm up really well before you go sing, and you should be perfestly fine. good luck, and have fun. please rate me! ]
now if you don't have any self confidence about that, then you will fail, just tell yourself that your going to do it, your going to win, pretend your Christina Aguilera or another famous singer! hope this helps! and good luck!

just.. start.. like.. first.. sing to your family.. then your friends.. and like.. a little more people at a time ..and do the same thing with the trumpet..and then.. bai the time your thyng is.. you will be a proo!! ]
practice singing in front of family and friends so you feel more comfortable. to relax, just take deep, long breaths, try counting to ten slowly or think, whats the worst that could happen? ]
If you can sing infront of the class, you can sing infront of an audience!! To be honest, once you get up there and sing, it's not as bad as you thought it was going to be. Take a deep breath, and sing your heart out. Don't look people in the eye, look over the tops of their heads. Just relax, because you'll be fine. Make sure you practice and practice so you don't make mistakes during the performance.
Also, sing a song that you like. Pick a song that you think the audience would like. If you want a touching song, do something like Raise Me Up By: Josh Groban or Concrete angel. Good luck, and remember, R-E-L-A-X!!!!

When you're up there singing, you just have to pretend like no one there. Or pretend like it's your family or your singing instructor. Also, it would to have some friends there for support. If you see them in the audience or whatever, you'll smile and feel less nervous. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
