Okay. My last post (which I deleted) was a little over the top & by little I mean / c o m p l e t e l y /. And now that I’ve gotten some oxygen to my brain, I want to ask if anyone here on tumblr has any stage fright tips? I’ve taken public speaking, I’ve gone up in front of class to sing, I’ve done talent shows & mock talent competitions at my high school. I’ve been in choirs. I’m lightweight okay when I sing in a group but once I have to sing alone, my throat begins to close up and I can’t give my 100%. Please, please, please if you have any tips at all please help me out. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I never get over my fear…

This is going to sound ridiculous, but think of singing like putting your pyjamas on.

So, when you go to sing alone, you’re thinking “oh God, what if I mess up this line, what if I crack a note, what if everyone laughs”, right?

But when you put on your pyjamas, you just kind of… do it. You don’t think about messing it up, you’re not like “what if I put them on back to front, what if I screw this whole thing up”, because it just comes naturally.

Apply that to singing. Think of it like “it’s been a long day, and now I’m going to put my pyjamas on and relax”. So similarly, it’s like “it’s been a long day, now I’m going to sing and relax my insides and it’s gonna be great, and I won’t mess it up because I know I can do it”.

I hope that made sense!

That actually makes a lot of sense. I think that’s the core of my fear… I worry too much about messing up, but maybe if I keep your advice in mind, it’ll help a whole lot 😊 And just to mention, I haven’t been on this blog for a very long time. It amazes me how I just randomly decided to log on and it turns out you’ve replied today. Call me silly, but I think it was written in the stars that I log on today, specifically to read your advice. So, thank you so so much for your advice!! I’ll treasure it :))
