Answer 1

No one knows your scared but YOU. Don't let them! Regardless of how you feel inside, project on the "outside" exactly what you want to be seen. You can be anyone or anything you want as no one else has a clue how you really feel.

Once you are projecting how you want to be seen, you will become more relaxed and comfortable and soon actually feel more like what your projecting than the nervousness you originally had.

When you focus on the nervousness it builds and grows until it takes you right over in fear. If you ignore it and focus on putting out confidence, soon you will find you have gained a bit of it which will encourage more.

You do this for everything you need an extra push for and soon you will have that confidence built up and be able to do all the things you would like without feeling so fearful and nervous.

Also keep in mind if you are not the only one on stage, there will be an assortment to look at, not just one. Even if you are alone, some will be chatting or day dreaming so you still don't have ALL those people focused on you. Don't feel they are. You focus on you. Not them or about them on you. Its just you putting on a show for you. No one else is there............ You'll be wonderful!!! Keep your chin up and let us know how it went!

Most people do get nervous when having to give a speach or act on stage in front of a group of people. It's one of the hardest things to do for most people. A certain amount of nervousness is normal. I've heard some celebrities even say that they have stage fright so you're not alone. How to over come it? If you're a person who lacks confidence generally, it will be harder for you. And lacking confidence sometimes means you have a low self esteem. This is something that would take awhile to overcome with the help of a therapist. Because you have to get to the root cause of your low self esteem, it probably goes back to your child hood. But you don't have time to figure all that out since you have to go on the stage tommorow. So, for a quick fix, here's what you can do. Try some deep breathing before you go on. Ten to fifteen minutes before going on stage, just find a quiet place and breathe in and out slowly while you think of a peaceful, nice place like the beach or the mountains (whatever you find peaceful). Tell yourself you can do it while you're breathing slowly. Breathing slowly will drop your heart rate and blood pressure, automatically reducing your stress level. Another thing you can do is when you go on stage, picture everyone sitting there as your friend. Pretend you know all of them and that they all love you. It's easier to get up in front of people if you think they are your friends because friends accept you.
Also tell yourself you'll do great. Positive messages can help.
Sometimes when you've told yourself you'll do great, the brain accepts that and it should boost your confidence. Also avoid any coffee, which has caffeine and that can make you nervous/jittery. I hope this helps! Good luck, you'll do fine. Just believe it!

Answer 3

Even the greatest actors are scared when they go on stage.
It is your body pumping adrenalin into your system to prepare you to run from danger. This is not all bad because in modern life we use this to enable us to perform at our best whether it be in an exam on stage, an interview for a job a speech or a presentation. Once you are aware of this you will get it under control and be able to use it. If you were not nervous afraid or scared which ever way you want to say it, you would not be as good as you could be. So Break a Leg you'll be fine

If there is someone you know in the audience, try to focus on them. That always helped me. I felt like I was performing for a familiar face.Take a deep breath before you go on stage. You will be fine. You'll look back on this and wonder why you were so scared. Good luck!!

Answer 5

A lot of people feel this way in front of crowds, including me. Can you get a group of people together? Like family and friends and just practice a couple times in front of them? Then they can also give you some feedback, as well as encouragement to help you when you have to do the real thing.

Answer 8

Take deep breathes before you go on stage.It could help if you only focus on a single person and just think they are the only person there.Best thing to do is just relax about it.Some professional speaker feel the same thing.Some of them look over the heads of everyone so they don't to see anyone and it helps them

Answer 9

Take a deep breath in thru you nose blow it out slowly thru mouth. Relax. Repeat until you are calm. Think of walking on the beach or someone running their fingers thru your hair what ever is calm and peaceful. Then go out there and pretend you are alone on a desert island giving your presentation. You will be fine. Good Luck.

Answer 10

Fear comes from making a fool of yourself and everyone will talk for years about it.

As long as you know what you are going to say, forget the audience. You are acting for the people on stage
