I tried fighting my stage fright by auditioning for a musical that was going on in my school. I got good receptions after I was done singing but when I had to start acting I forgot the lines so I had to look at my sheet with the lines on it. I looked up once to see the audience and just started shaking. My hand went into a tantrum and all the audience could see was the paper in my hand shaking like crazy. I then took drama in highschool to get over my stage fright with acting but it didnt help. I've got a hand tremor too man. It's not uncommon. And having to check your lines isn't a bad thing when auditioning either... that's why they give you the script in the first place.  lol But I had a couple of instances in my acting classes during our mock auditions where the auditioner asked if I was nervous because of my hand tremor and the paper was fluttering around and I wasn't nervous at all, I was just get so intent on doing it right that it makes the tremor more intense sometimes. You just gotta keep plugging at it and not worry so much about what folks think, especially in the acting realm. It's a fickle and judgmental field, but the fact is that just because they didn't like what you did for that particular audition, means absolutely shit all cuz something you did might trigger their memory for something else later and you'll get that part. You just have to have the confidence and belief that you put your best of your interpretation on it and let them decide whether it was right for their vision of the part or not and remember that there's never really a wrong answer when it comes to any performance art whether it be acting, music or public speaking of some sort. Some folks will like it, and some won't... that's just the nature of the beast. See one thing I regret to this day is telling my teacher (she was running the musical) to not put me in it. When the list came out I saw my name on the top of the list crossed out. I would say that that was the biggest mistake of my life. |

You obviously felt you weren't ready for it right at that particular moment in time. I've done it myself. You'll know when it's time... there's no need to beat yourself up over it. It's simply one instance that you feel you should've done something different and next time, you probably won't do the same thing. |

I was an idiot in that instance and I'm gonna go see that teacher sometime this year to ask her if I was good.

See I'd feel like people are judging me if I did that. They are judging you, but everyone's criteria is different. What is brutal to person 1 could be amazing for person 2. Just be you, do your think, and rock that shit. Live and learn man... and have no regrets. You obviously felt you weren't ready for it right at that particular moment in time. I've done it myself. You'll know when it's time... there's no need to beat yourself up over it. It's simply one instance that you feel you should've done something different and next time, you probably won't do the same thing. Truth. |
