From experience I can tell you that one of the only ways to feel more comfortable is to keep doing it. The more experience you get, the better it feels.

In that case try and focus on singing to one person or a spot on the wall and deliver the song as though you were alone. When on stage you can barely see the people in the front row due to the lights and shouldn't be looking there.
If you want to sing you need a voice coach who can make sure you are doing so properly and give you performing tips. With acting it's the same thing take all the courses, improv and whatever else you can and get into community and youth theater.
Your goal shouldn't be to be famous. Your goal should be to become a great singer/actor. Fame or success of any degree and people appreciating that talent will come from that. Working your butt off and eventually making it look easy is key and what sets performers apart. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

If you don't act or sing on stage often, then you're not going to be very confident. You've gotta get used to the lights, the pressure, etc. Get desensitized, in a way. I'm thinking you're in middle school at least, high school maybe. What I suggest is that you be very active in your school's plays and/or musicals, join the choir, and any other activities like speech class, etc. Then, make other opportunities for yourself, like singing for your mom or your grandma. Making Youtube videos, take a dance or piano class, all that jazz. Sure, at first it'll all be extremely nerve-wracking. That's normal. But by the time you hit your junior or senior year of high school, you'll have been on stage so much and be so used to preforming for people, it'll be a breeze. I used to be terrified of preforming for anyone. But I did those things above, and then it got easy. My senior year, it was so easy to do the plays and musicals. Sure, I was a little nervous each time, but that's good, that'll keep you in check. But what was so nice was that I was so used to it by then, I could focus on having fun instead of almost wetting myself in fear (xD).
