Stage fright is a common issue, affecting many people in the performing arts. Most performers will have to overcome it at some point in their career, whether an amateur gig player or a pro world touring musician.
Fear is a normal response to feeling under threat. In the case of stage fright it is likely to be the fear of making a mistake, or being judged, or something about your performance going wrong. It can even be about the fear of feeling fear on stage!
Whatever the cause, here are some tried and tested tips for overcoming your own stage fright.
1) Practice your material until you know it inside and out.
If you're not confident in what you've prepared, then it will be much harder to perform well under pressure.
2) Take deep breaths before going on stage.
You can also try counting down from 10 or 20 to one—this will help you focus on something other than your nerves!
