I've wanted to be a singer my WHOLE life. I know I can sing good because all my life I've been getting solos in chorus and everyone I know says I'm good. I can hit a bunch of notes and I can control my voice and everything.. but a few years ago I had a bad experience on stage... and ever since ive had major stage fear.
I dont even wanna TALK about what happened to me... but it was horrible and ever since I havent been able to get on stage by myself.. All of a sudden I'm constantly worrying that my voice is horrible and people are going to make fun of me.
I'm starting to get better but I want a record contract, and I think with what I'm doing now I can get a chance at one. Im just to afraid to sing by myself in front of anyone other than my closest friends... and I know record companyss wont take me for that.
Does anyone know how I can get over my stage fright... please its important!!

you kno you can sing, you must have a powerful voice.
don't worry about what other people think, you have to believe in your self that you are great.
.. just close your eyes and sing, imagine your in your room,
sing like nobodys listening.
just be your self, and don't worry about other people. do it for your self.
and if you just do it one time.
your stage fright should go away.

you know you can sing, so dont be scared! something embarassing like that happened to me once in a school play, but i eventually got over it, and now i'm acting again. whatever happened to you that time was probably just a one time thing, and i'm sure most people have forgotten about it by now, since you said it was a few years ago. when you're up there on stage, just remind yourself that you are a great singer, forget about all the people in the audience, and just sing your heart out. as for the record contract, i think its amazing that you are that good to be able to get one, so you can definatly do it. good luck and i hope this helped!!

Since you're afraid to get on stage by yourself, you can start by taking small steps. Get on stage with a group in front of people you don't know. Once you get comfortable with that, try a smaller group. Keep reducing the size of the group as you get more confident. Before long, you should be able to be on stage by yourself.
Something that always helped me when singing in front of people I didn't know was not actually looking at their faces. Pick a focal point somewhere in the back of the room slightly over the crowd's head. For instance when I sang in church, I always focused on a stained glass window in the back of the church. It gives the appearance that you're looking at the crowd but keeps you from actually seeing anyone.
Another tip someone gave me was imagining the crowd as cartoon characters. The person told me it's hard to be nervous when you're imagining Tweety watching you sing. I tried it once but got cracked up. However, it might be something you can try.
Good luck with your singing career.

All you can do is practice an keep telling yourself, that that was then this is now. I know I am good. I can do this! An if you beleive that, then you can do anything.
