For auditions: I tell myself I do not need this part, THEY need ME. No, I don't tell myself that...I convince myself of that. Also, that I am the hottest, best thing they will see the whole auditioning process and if they don't choose me, well, they must be crazy. I don't have to be right in this thought process, but it helps make you confident. It's a great tool. Afterward, I of course recognize I was probably not the best, and that can be torturous to think about it until you get the call you were cast, but all that matters is getting through it and while I'm auditioning, I'm auditioning with the thought in the back of my mind that I've got it in the bag.

For shows: Just relax before hand. I like to shake it out, then warm up my voice, and then finally end by isolating parts of my body and tensing them for a few seconds and then releasing them. Again, convince yourself that you're the best, because that will give you the confidence you need in the back of your mind. Just don't let it affect your acting. Let your subconcious that's still YOU be confident, but let the rest of you feel the emotions of your character, even if those emotions are fear and intimidation, be felt by you like the good little method actress I'm sure you are! :D

Also, and this is a biggie, ignore the audience. I'm sure you know by now now to look at any of them. If you have to deliver lines out at the audience, then pick a point above their heads that's low enough so that it doesn't make it look like you're looking up at the sky.

Definitely don't use alcohol - this is a slippery slope to disaster, because as years go on you will need more and more alcohol every time, and no-one performs well drunk! Plus it will ruin your memory. The trouble with imagining the audience naked is that it will put you off your words,and might even make you laugh - I know, I've done it! Even if you know your stuff perfectly you will still get a bit nervous, this is natural. Don't worry about a faster heatbeat or a nervous stomach, these will not disturb your performance. Remember that no-one in the audience can perform the material better than you can (in the actual performance), because you have worked on the material right to the last moment and they haven't. Remember that audiences never want to see someone fail, they are always on the performer's side and want to see you be your best. Do your song or acting onstage just exactly the same as you have performed it at home by yourself when no-one was looking, that's all you have to think of. Finally, I cured my stage fright permanently by using NLP techniques (Neuro-linguistic programming) and I also find that relaxation tapes & self-hypnosis tapes used daily for a couple of weeks before a show really help. You can find info on NLP techniques on the internet, or if you can afford it, have a couple of therapy sessions with a registered NLP therapist. Good luck and remember even the biggest stars in the world get nerves.

you cant cure stage fright, because its not an illness or anything bad at all. it gives you the energy you need to perform well. i have been acting on stage before a couple of times. usually you are not alone on stage, make sure the whole team supports each single member, even those that are in the background. when you know you all can count on each other, it helps a lot. of course every actor always is afraid, he could mess something up, but if you know you have the whole groups support, you feel a lot more relaxed. there is no stage performance without mistakes, but most times the audience doesnt even know. usually they dont know the piece or your particular version of it. plus, if you all work as a team, the others will catch you - even literally... and believe me - it works. i did some stupid things on stage before, and yes the saved my behind. on the other hand i saved some of theirs before, as well :) good luck for your next performances, and of course good preparation! by the way, the audience came to see and appreciate your work, not to denounce it

I think there is no cure for that . I have heard from a public speakers says that it is common to have stage fright before you go on stage to speak. You just need to warm up alittle than you will be fine.

I have never sucessfully conquered pre-performance jitters, and I am beginning to think they are necessary for a good performance ... over-confidence can be a curse.

However, once on stage, I believe the best approach is to completely submerge yourself in your character, and allow yourself to think and feel as that person would. I find that my ego and stage fright disappear into the role.

I think it would work for a speech, song, or presentation. You would still need to "assume a role" for the moments you are on stage.

Prepare everything really thouroghly - the more familiar everything is the less scared you will be. You will probably always be nervous - that can help to keep you focussed & can give you the energy you need to perform. Concentrate on what you have to do; try to ignore distractions. Explain how you feel to your director & fellow-actors. Performing a play is a group effort & everybody should help each other. You do whatever you feel will help you before going on stage. Remember the pleasure you are giving to your audiences. Good luck.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/RqjNZ

Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:

- Start by understanding and being informed.

You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.

The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Remember thatyou are only talking to one person. It just happens that there might be quite a few 'one persons'

Before the event, practice deep breathing. Butterflies in the stomach are caused when the muscles are starved of oxygen so deep breathing helps. (get them to fly in formation)

Another tip is: if at all possible try to meet members of the audience first. This might be possible if it is a business presentation.

Hope this helps and good luck

First and easiest is "BE the character"

Also, and, but, too, realize you are the ONLY one in attendance.

In being the character, involve totally in stage presence, the attitudes, nuances, expressions of the part, and ACT!!!

In thinking you're acting to yourself, your immersion in the role can be a GODlike experience. You are in control, for moments at a time at least, and NO ONE need be your Judge and/or Jury.
