The Best Way to overcome stage fright
Stage fright happens to everyone, even the biggest stars! Here are some proven ways to overcome it:
- Practice deep breathing
Take slow, deep breaths from your belly. Try the 4-7-8 method: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. - Prepare like crazy
The more you practice, the more confident you'll feel. Practice in front of a mirror, record yourself, or perform for friends. - Reframe your nervousness
Those butterflies? That's just excitement! Your body is getting ready to do something awesome. - Arrive early
Get comfortable with the space. Walk around, test the microphone, or just chill in the environment. - Focus on friendly faces
Look for supportive people in the audience. They're rooting for you!
