Tips for Coping with Stage Fright

Stage fright is inevitable; it is a normal thing for a performer. It gives you a push to the top. There are two types of fright:

The Performer’s anxiety where the singer is in doubt of how good the performance will be while the other type is where the performer has a phobia for the crowd, does not want to be in limelight (for this type of fright the person has no business with being in the forefront of entertainment).

Mastering the use of the microphone could also help a lot; do not take it close to a speaker and neither should you let it close to your mouth; be on stage with those who have roles to play and know when to leave the stage.

Tips

Take a very long and deep breath and you need to know that the audience is not concerned about you but what you are about to offer. So shift your mind away from yourself and concentrate on the performance.

Take the emotion you feel and channel it to your expression.

Establish a focus for your performance

See your performance as more as relating with your audience.
