If you have stage fright try to sing to your friends and take a deep breath and just think the crowd is your best bud thats i got out of my stage and because if i don't I'll never preform Hula again.=(

Answer 2

Honestly I used to have the same problem when I was younger. The first time I ever sang in front of anyone (knowingly) was in middle school, and I was so nervous I made them stand down the hall while I hid in the stairwell! As much as you probably don't want to hear this, the best way to get over stage fright is to perform in front of people as much as you can. If you are in choir audition for ANYTHING, even if you don't really want the solo. Ask your choir teacher to listen to you sing excerpts from some of your favorite songs to "get pointers." Start singing by yourself in the bathroom mirror, and pretend that your reflection is another person. When you feel comfortable ask one or two of your closest friends to listen to you. Go into your bedroom, or any other room you can make very dark, and sing to them with the lights off so you can't see their faces. It's sometimes easier that way. When you finally have practiced enough using those tricks start singing to a small group with the lights on. Don't look into anyone's eyes at first. Simply look over their heads and focus on an item far away. No one will know you're not making eye contact. However, you'll eventually want to be able to do this - especially if you plan on autitioning for any major role or solo. Just practice hun, and you'll get it eventually! Good luck.

To reiterate a point already made, sing in front of your friends and ask for tips. It is often a lot harder to sing for people you know than for those you don't. Work on getting together some people, then sing for them as if it is the performance. You will be able to get used to singing in front of other people and you will probably get some pretty good advice as well.

Just as a general tip: Look out over the heads of the audience members to the back wall of the performing space. This will help you project and will keep your eyes off of the audience.

Good luck!

Having SOME stage fright is good. Its kinda an adrenaline rush that keeps you on your toes. But when ti hinders your performance then it is bad, which is your case.

I used to have horrible stage fright. You just have to keep putting yourself out there and get used to audiences. Different audiences have different mannerisms.

I got over my stage fright by thinking about myself being in the audience and what I would be thinking if i were watching me. I always thought people were judgmental but then I realized how passive people are when watching someone sing!

Answer 5

Invincible self-confidence alone will help you. Initially, don't look directly into the eyes of anyone in the crowd ; let the crowd remain sort of blurred, until you have enough practice and no stage-fright, whatsoever. The idea is, ultimately, to vibe with the crowd, and that will surely come, with practice, in due course.

Answer 6

Actually many rock stars and singers have stage fright. They sing fine in front of audiences but speaking is another matter.

Answer 7

Sing to the people, entertain them. Stop thinking of yourself and what they think of you and just sing, sing, sing. Give them your gift of song. Look at them, the people, and sing the song to them. If you do that, you will forget all about being frightened. It also helps to be really well prepared. Rehearse and make sure everything is down. The song will never change, but you will. Each audience is different, and they will respond to you in a different way. That is what is exciting about performing.

Answer 8

Find a teacher and take voice lessons! No matter how good of a singer you are already it will not only give you confidence by helping you learn to support your voice when you are nervous but simply by working with a teacher you will get used to having someone you must sing in front of who is evaluating what you are doing every time. I was nervous at first but I LOVED voice lessons and it boosted my confidence in front of groups so I was able to audition for and get cast in roles in musicals and perform in front of crowds.

Answer 9

focus on how good you are. the people you are singing for dont know anything about you., and you'll probably never see them again. they've come to hear your voice. so give them a song they won't forget soon! fear is normal, but don't let it hold you back from doing your best.

Answer 10

Confidence is key, picture your setting if performing a scene, or as they all say, picture everyone in there underwear, though for you sights sake, not fat people.
