Grendell,
you are in charge. There is no audience, just gaze into space. Do your thing proud! You know your part, Just do it.

Stage fright is normal, in fact, I would be surprised if you weren't nervous!
Just concentrate. It will seem overwhelming, but you just have to roll with it. If you DO make a mistake, act like nothing happened and save the scene. The audience isn't hardly going to notice you messed up! Focus on getting through the first 5 minutes or so. That is the biggest and toughest part. Once you get on stage and get going, the fear quickly fades away. Sit quietly, think of your lines and stage presence, take deep slow breaths. You ARE your own critic, and your worst at that. Maybe even think a little cocky, if it boosts your confidence, bu most likely, it is not as you think it is. Be LOUD. Be overly loud if you have to, it is better than being quiet! Think when you are saying your lines, that you are just talking to your friends at lunch or something.

Everyone gets stage fright but the hard part is to control it. Whenever you get stage fright try to relax and think about the play and take deep breaths. Once youre onstage dont look at the audience just concentrate on what youre doing. GOOD LUCK!!

Don't do the underwear thing. It's rhetorical: it just means you should pretend the audience is as nervous and exposed as you'll feel up there. Honestly, the only way to feel utter stage-frightlessness is by practicing. Not in front of people nessessarily, but to just stay in plays and stuff. Once you've been in enough plays, you're stagefright passes. Also, one thing I do to help me relax is a few "brainopener" excercises.
For example, cross your legs and hold your hand as though you're clapping with one arm over the other. Do it the other crossing way. Also, roll your neck. THose are just a few excercises to help open both sides of the brain. It's helped me tremendously.
SORRY, this was kindof long, but that's what helps SOULFULLY!

Unfortunately, there is not answer for this beyond "keep trying." We cannot make people fall in love with us or even go out on a date. They usually want one of two things: you or something you have,i.e., possessions,popularity,or "emotional high." Magazines and television play on our weakness by giving advice that is incorrect,morally wrong, unproven, or only works as a "quick fix." Good luck!

I know you get scared. I've been acting for over 40 years. Use the nervous, scared energy to promote your character. Forget about the audience and pretend it is a dress rehearsal. Also, usually lights on you will help you not to see the audience, so just forget they are there. Good luck.

As many a fine actor has done, do not look at anyone in the audience, but "just over their head" between them and the one behind.
Or use Inderal (by prescription).

You should present you in an empty room, rehearsing the speech and there's nobody inside, only you. If you it can do it, all be ok.
