Hi arnold I sing in mass since ten years ago from now, and I still feel nervous each time I´m going to sing. But I try to focus on my speach. Because if I think in people I feel like a great magnet atracting negative energies in the place. So I stay calm, confident on me, it`s me who`ll guide the sing. If I´m not in peace, I wont transmit peace and everthing can turn over me if I don´t manage my stress. I try to exercise somedays, running or biking helps me get relaxed, swimming too. I try to spend good moments with my familiy, my hubby, my kids, my mummy, my bro. I try to avoid negative feelings, quarrels between kids, scary films, soap operas, indeed negative songs, that may guide myself to negative feelings or thoughts. You must study your speach, very well, don´t forget to breath well and to speak properly and clear. Feel yourself confident, make you handsome, shave well, take a good bath, put on lotion, dress you fine. Be on time, avoid negative feelings or negative people. Good luck! Blessings!

Hello, There is a real truth about the people that everyone care about themselves only. They will care less if you don't perform good in there. So if you go on a stage, suppose to sing a song, sing it as if you are alone, because in psychological world you are alone. It is only you who cares about yourself. One has to learn to enjoy the stage. Go and enjoy it, say whatever you have to say. One best thing you can do is go to the stage and tell them that you have stage fear so don't mind if you perform less. It will take out the pressure from you. The most important thing is this that you have to go on to the stage. That is the place which will help you. Good luck.

Hi, Making career in teaching is very nice. While doing teachers training you will learn how to teach, talk. Slowly you would gain confidence with training. You can talk with courage on stage. By practice and having command on your subject you can overcome your stage fear. You ahve to trust on yourself and should have confidence.

Sometimes, putting yourself on stage can be frightful! All you have to do is Suck it up! and be confident about yourself on stage. Don't be afraid! let loose and have fun on stage instead on thinking of perfection, remember enjoyiing your performance is more important rather than feeling cautious on some actions on stage. Also it is important to practice your part over and over again, to act more natural on stage, have a dry run on your performance by collecting some people to look over your performance. They will help you in correcting what is right and what is wrong before the show proper.
