Any suggestions to how to ge over them ?

Answer 1

Don't try to get over them when i am nervous I do better but just be prepared practice a ton and don't worry to much you will do fine believe in yourself and have fun! Break a leg!

Answer 2

What if you didn't get OVER the nerves, but just worked WITH them. Turn stage fright into stage excitement. Many "old timers" still get nervous before auditions and performances. It is part of the whole process.

One more thing: When you look at the audition judges, just remember that you will be working with them, joking with them, eating lunch with them in a few weeks....so don't be afraid of them.

Answer 3

Clear your mind and think pleasant thoughts. You said you were confident that you can sing and dance, so there you go! I know this is "Old hat", but try to think of everybody out there with their underwear on. Hope you are very successful. Grams

make sure you know your part real well, do it over and over and over, then just go for it. When you get into what you have to do they'll disappear to leave space to enjoyment.
