Advice on getting over acting in front of people
Acting is something I've loved for a long time. I took private lessons for a while, but it got to be much too expensive, over $200 a month. My mom doesn't want me to quit altogether, and neither do I. She said I can continue acting lessons, just not private ones. But there's a problem with that, I get shy acting in front of people I don't really know. Over time, I'm sure I will get more comfortable in front of other people. But how can I get over that initial nervousness? Any advice will be appreciated. I just don't want to have to stop acting for a while. I actually plan on doing something with it.
Thanks.

How does a crowd know you are not "acting" shy and nervous? You are acting, Therefore to them everything you say and do is the possibility of an act. You be yourself, You do your thing and sometimes pretending the crowd is nothing but card board cut outs can be handy! Relax, Just go with it

Our best advice is to just forget about everyone int he crowd. I, myself am pretty nervous because I have an upcoming play, but what works best for me is to just imagine everyone in the audience or watching in their underwear. Just don't laugh:)
