Is Stage Fright Stopping You From Singing in Public?
It's every singer's worst nightmare...
Let's just say you get all prepared, to go on stage to dazzle your audience.
But just for an instant, you forget the words or you get too nervous to make a good sound coming out.
Have you ever experienced stage fright like this? Are you wondering if there is anything you can do about it? If so, and if you are ready to free yourself of this burden so that you can sing well every time you are on stage, then this article is a must read.
To begin with, stage fright has nothing at all to do with how talented a singer you are.
Even the most experienced performers get stage fright and some of them never really get rid of it completely.
Lawrence Olivier once had to be pushed out onto the stage before his performance every night.
He was one of best Actors of the 20th Century who ever lived.
Barbara Streisand had it so bad, once early in her career she forget lyrics to one of her songs during a performance which made her stop performing live for 3 decades for fear that might happen again.
You see no one is immune to stage fright.
It's how can you deal with it, that's what really matters.
Well, first you must understand and accept that although there is a strong psychological component involved, stage fright is a physical condition.
This means that once your body is in this mode, the old "mind over matter" is not going to get you out of it.
Instead, you have to resort to physical measures in order to deal with stage fright.
You see, fear and anxiety are actually an electrical vibration in you nervous system.
Once induced, they cause your breathing to become shallow and your blood circulation to be affected.
This is the reason why your hands may begin to shake or feel sweaty or you may even begin to feel dizzy.
In order to combat this, you can practice breathing deeply and make sure that your blood is circulating properly.
This may not get rid of the fear altogether, but it will cut back on the physiological impact it will have on your body.
Once this is done, you can move on to refocusing your thoughts.
A lot of stage fright comes from putting yourself on stage in your imagination before you are actually there.
A good way to deal with this is to "not be there until you are actually there" Focus on the music "not on yourself".
And most important to remember "It's not about you!" It's about the message you are giving.
People will always respond to the message you are singing about.
Learn to sing and know your set before you go out there, make sure you Practice, Practice, Practice!! Know what you are doing..
On the day of performance, you simply need to trust that you have done the best that you can do and let the chips fall where they may.
This will help you to relax and let go of the need to have a perfect outcome.
Singing is enjoyable, but it is also a lot of work.
Being a Vocal Coach I always tell my training Singers not to push so hard to be perfect that you miss out on the fulfillment along the way.
If you are able to do this and to get your breathing and blood circulation under control, you are going to be a lot better when you step on stage.
