stagefright
13/f
this summer I'm supposed to go see this music producer guy so I could sing for him. The biggest of my worries is that I have a MAJOR problem with stagefright. Once in kindergarten I was standing on the stage in the auditorium doing a play. When I was walking off the stage, I tripped and fell flat on my face and all I could hear was everyone laughing at me. Ever since then I've been terrified to do anything in front of people that aren't my family. Can you please help me?

i have stagefright. if you go to speach in school, it helps. just close your eyes and imagine he is your mom or family member. or open them and imagine him in polka dot underwear.
Hope i helped-

i have been there. what helps me is haveing friends or family there with you. if your not that lucky you can try to picture yourself all alone. i'm sorry but there isnt much that can help. this is one of those things that you have to try to get over yourslef. just try to relax, and dont worry because everyone is there to see you. just think "what do i have to lose?" nothing. no one there wants to see you get scared. so keep that in mind and just remember to have fun!
good luck

Well you sound like you must be good, so forget about in kindergarden that was a while ago. If you know your good theres nothing to be scared about, just pretend your the only one there and go for it!
i hope i helped! : )

i do performances quite a lot, so i know what you're going through. these are a few tips that might help:
- try practicing in front of a mirror. it gives you a sense of what you look like when you're performing, which could help you with your confidence.
- ask the producer if your parents could come in to watch the audition. the familiar faces could help to ease your nerves.
- you obviously enjoy singing. so concentrate on the song. if you don't think about the scariness of performing in front of a stranger, then you might be able to calm down, and just sing.
i hope i helped! good luck on your audition!

oaky, im so sorry that that happened, but that was a LONG time ago so you have to try to let it go. what helped me with stagefright was just performing infront of people, it doesnt necesarly have to be singing it could be like acting or dancing. this will help you, because i know for a fact, it helped me, because in my theater class we had to perform infront of the class a lot and at the beginning of the year i was TERRIFIED! but then towards the end i wasnt even scared (except for a little nerves but thats totally natural for EVERYONE)! so yeah just try that. i hope i helped and good luck!!

Aww im sorry that happened to you something like that happened to me when i was younger.It was in 6th grade and i had to play my recorder for a talent show,i couldnt find the curtain to get on stage and everyone was laughing and it just made me soo nervous and i was upset so i didnt really play that well and i squeaked alot too lol but ive become more better at being on stage and not having stagefright anymore.My tips are too just look straight ahead not right at him because youll start to get nervous and maybe freeze up.Calm yourself down like go from 3 to 1 and take deep breaths while thinking of something that makes you happy or your "happy place".Drink some water too to loosen your throat.Listen to feel good music.Maybe even try to practice singing outside your house or on the street so you wont be soo nervous when you meet him because youll already sung to a whole ton of people that have went by you.I also thought thsese websites would help you out :

okay this might sound weird but when i used to go out on stage for dance perfomances and school stuff if i felt nervous cause the first thing i would do is look out into the audience to look for some familier face which i never did i would star at a random object like an exit sign a banner a chair or someones forhead but never at someones face cause then i would be like omg thers another face and another omg theres so many people so in other word try to find a technique that works to relax yourself try it out and try your best on stage

i see how your experience in kindergarten could be terrifying... but.. think about it.. they probably laughed because they thought you were cute! nothing that you should be scared or worried about.
take deep breathes and remember why you are there.. to sing. because you love it, because you are good at it.. whatever it may be. focus on that. :) good luck!

Focus on what you are there to do. Which is to sing. So don't worry about what he may think and don't worry about if he's really laughing at you on the inside. Relax your mind with peaceful thoughts. Also, think about what you can accomplish by doing that. So think about what will happens if he likes your perfomance.

well yes i have to agree with the person below me pretend everyone is in there under wear. But when I was told that i started laughing in front of a veryyyyy important speech. So what I had to do was to keep getting up infront of people And work hard and concentrate on the back wall and keep pacing your eyes over it so that it looks like you are looking at the crowd but..... you fill in the blanck. Good Luck. Hope this helps!

one hint: IMAGINGING PEOPLE IN THEIR UNDERWEAR DOES NOT WORK!! lol. imagine something relaxing, for me it would be horsebackriding, or swimming. oh, and dont look this guy in the eye, stare at his forehead or something, eyes can be intimidating for both you and him.
MeE!
