i am in drama...adn actually i had this same problem...my main thing is to actually just look over your audience....stare at the wall right in back of everyone...if you don't see the people maybe you wont be as scared..and if you look right over them..they will still think you are lookign at them..so you wont lose points for eye contact or anythign like that...
mamorizing...just keep reading..get your best friend and read over them a million times..and if you are a sad lonely person w/o a friend...tape record yourself with your lines and listen to it over and over..the same way you would memorize your favorite song...
confidence....just summon from within....i dotn have very much conficdence....i can perform in front of a large audience...as long as i cant pick out specific people....and a small audience..as long as it's close friends....classmates...hard....just try the look over them thing..it really works....and it helps me...
people might tell you to picture them naked or in their underware...dont...that's just stupid and actually it makes me even more scared...lol...make the people disappear..if you can do it w/o people you can do it with people
if worse comes to worse....close your eyes if you have to...you cant lose that many points for no eye contact...!
just smile and have fun with it...once its over you'll realize its not that big of a deal.....unfortunately you usually dont realize that until AFTER it's over..lol
good luck!

Practice in front of a mirror and then in front of some of your friends and family to get used to an audience. Do breathing exercises and it will help you calm down.
You can do it and keep saying that to yourself. Practice practice practice is the best thing for memorization...get it down pat and know you know your stuff and you cant go wrong! Break a leg!

memorization::: read it outloud over and over or make a song out of it even if it doesn't really go...
performance::: get really into it...even if you are exagerating it's going to look better than just standing there
confidence::: if you just get so into it you won't even be thinking of the autdiance...pretend it's real life...and just yea...get into character
good luck!!!

find a point on the back wall behind the audiance and focus only on that while you read your lines. If you can't see the back wall stare at a point on one of the side walls as far back as you can see.
