smn7291 answered Tuesday November 15 2005, 8:58 pm: Your could try singing often in front of your friends, then try to work in other people you dont know as well and work your way up to a crowd of them! I hope it works for you. Good luck! [ smn7291's advice column | Ask smn7291 A Question ]
XoxoDaniellexoxO answered Tuesday November 15 2005, 6:12 pm: Thats exactly like me! And I don't really know how to deal with it either. But I think that you should tell yourself that there is absolutely nothing to be scared or embarrassed of. You think youre good at it, and I'm sure mostly everybody else does too. So if its really your passion, you will get over it eventually and do your thing! [ XoxoDaniellexoxO's advice column | Ask XoxoDaniellexoxO A Question ]

sizzlinmandolin answered Monday November 14 2005, 11:50 pm: Put yourself in a situation where you have to get up on stage. Once you do it a few times you'll get over it, it'll just take practice. I used to feel the same way. Sign up for your school's talent show or your school play. Try out for the solo in chorus. There's lots of things that you can do. You know you're good and so does everyone else, you just need to get over the stage fright, which, even though it's hard to do, there's so many opportunities around you. I hope I helped you and good luck! I know you can do it <33 [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
ShYbl0nD3 answered Monday November 14 2005, 10:23 pm: it just takes practice. and the more youre on stage the more you get used to it. and one day youll realize that if you really love to sing you wont worry about being scared on stage and it will all pass. i went through the same thing. but maybe if you do sing on stage for the first few times maybe get a partner that can also sing so you wont be alone.

Clash2004 answered Monday November 14 2005, 10:16 pm: Dear to whom it may concern,
Its ok to be nervous on stage in front of people. Just take a few deep breaths and just tell yourself you can do it and really believe it when you say it. As long as you think you're good then nothing else matters. Just concentrate on what you want the people to get from the performance. I hope I helped.

JeFFLoVeR answered Monday November 14 2005, 10:10 pm: i was like that once then my teacher told me to just act like people were not all fockest on u...so when i went up on stage i got some of my goofy friends to like go up there with me and like dance or something that helped a lot.
MyHappyShoe answered Monday November 14 2005, 10:08 pm: I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had the same problem. I got into a theatre class and it made me A LOT less shy infront of people. Then, I tried out for my schools Tempo choir (top choir, have to sing 2 songs by yourself for auditions) and I overcame most of my stage fright. Just sit your parent(s) down and sing to them.. or just sing really loud in the car and turn the volume down a little lower each time you sing until you can barely hear the song but keep singing really loud, louder each time if you have to.. then do it infront of a group of people until you're over your fear. OR you could go do karoke somewhere.? [ MyHappyShoe's advice column | Ask MyHappyShoe A Question ]
