Overcomming Self consciousness
Wed, 9 July 2003, 11:47 amI'm a pretty shy person and i have diffuculty with overwhelming self consciusness in life but when i'm acting it's gone whether it be as a character or myself.
Anyway I'm after any advice for tackling this problem, its not a good way to go through life , I feel as if i'm watching my self all the time without being in tune to whats around me. The more I act with my immagination the more it goes but it keeps comming back when i stop using it.
Thanks

Oh how I'd like to act like myself without fear! My problem is stage fright. Despite having performed a few times in front of people I still get extremely agitated for sometimes days before a performance. I can practice a song and do it perfectly an hour before going on stage, but once I'm up there, my mouth goes dry, I shake like a leaf and instead of enhancing the performace with adrenalin, I sabotage it. I can happily talk in front of people, give a lecture or an address, I even gave a eulogy once, but sing, when it comes to the song, it's like I'm totally exposed, like people can see right through me and I get through it, but it is never as good as I know it could be. Any tips anyone?
