so embarrased
I'm going to be in a production of Snow White and i'm the old witch. I'm really embarrased though because I have to do and say alot of things that aren't like me, and my WHOLE FAMILY will be watching. I have to talk in this really old, high voice and walk down the theater aisle screaming stuff like "apples for sale". I would have alot of fun doing that if no one I knew was watching me. And I know that isn't possible. Like I KNOW MY DAD WILL MAKE FUN OF ME. Like when i'm being mean to him some time after the play ended he'll start imitating me doing the which. Already he found out i'm walking down the aisle and he started imitating me and making fun of me. I tried to tell him to stop but he just laughed at me. What can I do to solve this nervousness problem?

this is a big dilemna. i dont know the relation between you and your dad, but if you have a good bonde, talk to him about it. i know, i know, people always say this, but if he just jokes around all the time without meaning to hurt you, it can easily be stopped. also....it takes a LOT of confidence and bravery to get up on stage in front of a lot of people. unless your dad did the same thing, he doesn't know the pressures! just remember, that person is NOT you. you are ACTING. being sumone your not. if his jokes REALLY bother you, talk to sumone else about it, and maybe they can talk to your dad privatly. Inside he's going to be proud of you no matter wut. even if you DO have an old lady part in the play. It okay. When your onstage, try to pretend no one is there. I was in Annie once, and i was really nervous too. but after 2 min. on the stage, i was enjoying every bit of it! itll be fun, and remember.. other people prolly wanted your part. so play it up! be happy you got it!
Hope i helped!

Hello.
I, like you, are involved in theater.. only I'm just involved in school plays and productions. This past year, I was in a play called "Our Town" and I was Baseball Player #2 and Dead Man #2... nothing special, I know.. but every part is the same, as they say. I was, even with a small part, incredibly nervous. In fact- whenever I present something I'm always nervous of what friends or family may think of me. I know how you feel. My dad is a lot like yours.. he picks at me, but I know he only does it because he loves me and he loves to see me irritated.. I do the same to him.
I bet your dad is no different. I know that the whole "talking to him" thing doesn't work- so I'm not going to tell you to do that.
When you're acting your part, whether your dad is there or not- you need to put ALL YOU'VE GOT into your acting. If you do this- you'll be awesome! If you do an outstanding job- you could really make your dad proud.. my dad was of me- and I didn't even think I did that well. If he picks on you about it- it may just be his way of saying you did great!
Just go out there and do your best. I'm sure your dad will be nothing but proud of his "little girl".
