Will I get stage fright in a play?

Question

look i am doing a play, do you think i will get stage fright!

Answer 1

Don't focus on the people. They are not in the play. There is a fourth wall where the audience sits and you shouldn't see throught it. When you get eye contact with anyone in the audience it can be seen. It makes the play lose its affect. Stay in the moment and don't focus your eyes on the people. They are one big blob that really doesn't exist. Seriously, take my advice and forget the pressures, and you will not get stage fright. Stay in the moment.

Answer 2

You will only get stage fright if you let yourself get stage fright. I mean it depends on how you perceive it. It is obvious that you already think you are going to get stage fright, But there is really nothing for you to be afraid of. The people you are preforming for probably don't know diddly squat about this play, so even if you make some horrifying mistake(which you probably won't) they probably won't even notice! And your mistake is only as big as you make it seem. I mean if you stand there wide eyed and frightened after you make a mistake (which again you probably won't) then yes people will notice. but if you pretend that the mistake was part of the play, they won't notice, they might even think its funny! Which is a very good thing! Have fun while your acting! There's no point in acting unless you get to have fun doing it! Also I would avoid looking at the people, That triggers stage fright. Have fun! Break a leg!

Answer 3

Probably. Since stage fright is fear of making a mistake in front of a lot of people, make sure you have your lines and cues down cold. Very important -- play to your partners. Get into the role. Once you're on stage, you'll forget the audience. It's an exhilarating feeling. Remember, the audience is for you and with you!

Answer 4

Pretty much everyone gets stage fright to some degree but it's usually not so bad you can't handle it. Remember to

B - R - E -A - T - H - E

and you'll be okay!

Answer 5

probably

the important thing is how you deal with it

nearly everyone gets some form of stage fright

Answer 6

You are the only person who can answer this question, but what you can do to try and prevent this from happening is by taking deep relaxing breaths and by trying to control your nerves. Just pretend that no one is there. You should also practice a lot so that you believe that you are well prepared and if you fell confident you should do fine. After all I imagine that you weren't the only person trying to get the position you have in the play so if you were chosen that means that you do have some talent you just have to remain confident in yourself

Answer 7

Most people do not get stage frieght to the point where it affects their performance negatively (forgetting lines, etc). I do think everyone has or does experience some sort of nervousness, butterflies in your stomach, or some jitters, but usually it's not anything major. It's part of the thrill of live theatre!

Answer 8

You might if you think about it too much. Maybe the best thing to do is concentrate on what personality you really want to project. A good speaker usually has passion for their subject, so if you think about what is important to you, maybe you won't have a problem.

Answer 9

That is up to you.
Just go out there like your in your own living room.
Dont think of the crowd. Dont think of messing up and making a fool of yourself infront of everyone you know.
Just go out and have fun.

Answer 10

unfortunately only you will know that. just take deep breaths and concentrate on one person if you do.
