My town(and school) has a play/musical every year and i was in one school musical. i am 14. I want to be in the towns musical but i am really shy and can't like sing infront of people(adition involes this)....I ask for a 'non-singing' part but then i get a part with little to no words or spoken parts. I am not sure what i can do to boost my cofidence!!!!
Help!!!
1. KNOW YOUR SONG. backwards and forwards.
2. smile and look pleasant and not nervous when you go up to sing for the artistic team.
3. PROJECT YOUR VOICE! Sing loudly.
4. Assure yourself that you can do it.
i hope i helped.
just go to the audition! After you do it you'll be like "oh i wonder why i was ever so afraid..."

It wasn't pretty nor did it involve singing or acting. Well, maybe a little bit of acting. Point is that I always tried to go last if I had to present in front of the class or tried to have my mom write me a note or something haha.
But I joined forensics team this year. That's where you do poetry related stuff [serious poetry, story telling, impromptu, duo interp, etc, etc, etc...it's pretty much endless.] But you have to speak in front of an audience no matter what category you choose. & basically I did iimpromptu & duo interp as my categroies this year & ahhh. So many experienced people for my first competition ever! So, rambling here. But what I found helpful is to rehearse with somene you know a whole friggin' lot. Rehearse it with a random person or your best friend. switch it up with people. Sing in front of your friend[s] and family member[s]. Basically, try and perform your part in front of people you know. It doesn't have to a gazillion at once. Just sing in front of one person several times [each time, try and get a new person]
Oh, banana's are good beta blockers so you should eat one or two aan hour before audition. & get enough protein! *beta blockers--it's basically helps you stay calm and blocks your nervousness & yes, it does help =)*

asdk your parent or whoever you live with to listen to you sing and then you might get some confidence or ask a friend.
and even if you dont decide to do it seriously things like this will come up in your life.

If you can act on stage in front of other people, singing is only one step further! [ freshcutroses's advice column | Ask freshcutroses A Question ]
