I need some help with stage fright..


Question Posted Saturday June 2 2007, 1:43 am

Okay, so my school is having a talent show thing and I really love singing, but I have really bad stage fright. But I want to sing so bad, nobody has ever heard me, except for my closest friend. So what should I do to get over this stage fright? Also what would be an easy, yet nice song to sing? (preferably rock, or soft rock, but nothing R&B or hip hope, PLEASE)

have you performed on stage before? there are lots of common misconceptions- when you're standing in the spotlight, you can't see anything around you. you can't see the audience. it feels like you're alone up there. so whenever you're singing, don't try to look into the audience. look at the back wall of the auditorium, or just stare into space. secondly, have you ever been to a talent show and felt like you really wanted the performer to do well when they got up on stage? the audience is feeling that for you. they don't want you to mess up, they're rooting for you! and they will understand if you mess up because everybody has done that. but people generally do want you to do well when you're up on a stage. you just have to pick something to do that will interest them. like, pick a popular song... something like kt tunstall's black horse and the cherry tree? that would be good, unless your whole school hates it or something. you've just got to take hold of the song. don't sing it like you're singing along with the radio, sing it like you own it. i've been playing piano for a really long time, and i used to get nervous right before a performance. but my piano teacher gave me a little tip: when you're nervous, you tend to shake, so to get rid of the shakiness, you need to move around. so i normally skip through hallways or parking lots or whatever. it works! also, i'm not a singer, but i hear that it helps if you don't drink cold water right before a performance. always remember to warm up a little bit before you go out there. good luck!
