I know the feeling...When I was a dancer in college I used to be frighten every time we have a performance, even for a small gathering or a small social event...So to ease out our fright, our dance director (until now) orders us to gather around and make us pray to the Lord to take away our fears and to perform well, offering each of our performances for Him for giving us the talent. And then he'd say GADT-- and then we'll shout BEST! at the top of our lungs to take the fright away. Personally, before every dance I would say my prayers...

I have heard many times that the best way to face an audience is to imagine them all naked in their seats. It takes the edge off because it is so comical in your own mind that you forget to be nervous. And never make eye contact with any of them individually.

Well just walk up like: "Oh I can do this, this is nothing to me, it's whatever." Just walk up their a comfortable pose. And don't look at people directly in face, or eye. Look at their chin or the top of their head. And just good up thier and act like it is no big deal so people can notice and they won't expect a big blunder, ya know?
