Lately, I've been having a lot of "what if I can't do it?" moments.
I recently got the lead in our school musical, and it was my first time auditioning for this school's performance (I transferred in as a sophomore, and I'm a senior.)
I feel like I'm letting everyone down because I'm having trouble getting the dances. I'm a singer - like, majorly. I sing opera, that's what I'm going into - and I can act rather well, I think. But I don't dance. I can jazz dance and ballet, but not musical theater. It's just not working, lol.
I also have a lot going on. I have a couple scholarship auditions coming up, another performance, and that, and I'm in the middle of two competitions, all vocal. I always worry that I'm letting the cast down because I don't think I'm that good. I can't get rid of any of my obligations. As it is, I never see my boyfriend. I have a date tonight at like 9, after work, and this is the first time I've seen him out of school in the past 3 weeks or so. Any ideas as to how to fix my confidence issue and/or the stress problem?

Try to actually have fun while doing it and don't think of it as something you have to do rather something you choose and want to do.

By practicing at home I do not mean do the choreographed dances for the musical, just dance. Let yourself go and move the way you want to. It also helps remove stress.

Tell yourself i can do it otherwise, there is no hope! Good luck to you! I think you should loose your job, because that is putting more pressure on you,and that way you can focus more on real things. You can prob get easy money by helping aroun the house and stuff like that. And if you cant hang out with your boyfriend that much then i think you should talk to him about it and see what he says. Good luck!
