I GET STAGE FRIGHT. REALLY BADLY. not with acting or dancing -- just with singing. whenever I try to sing in front of a crowd, my voice gets all vibrato and weak and wavery. is there any way I can stop this from happening?

If you think your going to get stage fright then why would you even want to try out? That is so stupid. Why can't you just leave it to people who actually take lessons for this kind of thing. I mean seriously, ever heard of DRAMA ENRICHMENT CLASSESS? Geez. for your information, my dear, I've been in eight plays, one of which was a musical. I've sung in three talent shows. I've gone to camps and classes and workshops and auditions by the barrelfull. that doesn't mean that I don't get stagefright. I just want it to go away. maybe you'd understand that if you'd come down off that high horse of yours. rozenmaiden101 Posted at 1:56 pm on June 8, 2008 OMG. How can you get stage fright?

Go in there just think OMG >>>> NERVOUS then just let that determintaion strike. look up  open your eyes wide let your eyes blaze with passion and do what you do. =] trust me just let your imagintion go WILD put feeling in. imagine all that matters is you and your song and how you work together. caatquinn Posted at 1:39 pm on June 8, 2008 i had the same thing, serious. all you have to do is believe that you can do it, i know it sounds really silly, but if you just convince yourself that you're good enough to do it, then it'll really help. the more confidant you are, the stronger your voice will sound, and it won't come out all weak and wimper-y. just practice singing confidently in front of anyone, building up bigger groups & just know you can. jennxdidxWHAT Posted at 1:39 pm on June 8, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 1:37 pm on June 8, 2008 Close your eyes while you're singing?
