Dear Student, Stage Fear arises only when your aim is to impress audience. And you are afraid or conscious that what would happen if you fail to impress the audience. There is no other possible reason of stage fear for any human. But Please remember Music should never be sung for audience, Music is food...
read more Dear Student, Stage Fear arises only when your aim is to impress audience. And you are afraid or conscious that what would happen if you fail to impress the audience. There is no other possible reason of stage fear for any human. But Please remember Music should never be sung for audience, Music is food for Soul and must be sung only for God and should be offered only to God. If you start singing for God, only then you can be called as a true singer and then true singers cannot have any kind of Stage fear at all by any chance, Because God says to us "Why Fear When I am Here", So the only remedy is that you start devoting your song to God and start singing for him alone. You would be amazed to see the Results. God Bless You. Alok Sharma. read less

Though i am an actor and acting tutor. I can suggest 1- Keep in mind why you are on stage and value of " why you are singing". 2- Have faith in your performance, Your performance itself will lead you across the fear.

read more Hello Shirley ji, To overcome stage fright one can practice following techniques. Think positive, visualize the success, practice, practice and practice a lot, record and watch your performance, make corrections, meditate, exercise, relax your body, laugh, avoid caffeine, reach early at the venue, talk with the audience, maintain eye contact with the audience, move your body while performing. Once you're on stage, turn off your mind, just focus on your words, your body, and your facial expressions. Don't waste time over thinking it and asking yourself pesky questions. Just start enjoying your performance and inhabiting the moment. Best wishes Rekha Pandya read less

read more Hi Shirley, Stage fear can be eliminated by 3 main aspects, that is 1.Your music knowledge, 2.Your voice and 3.Your right singing posture(sitting or standing). Be thorough in your musical study and gain the knowledge from your Guru. Make sure you fine tune your voice and confident enough to perform. Finally learn and correct the singing posture for your performance. By knowing all these, you are all set and you need not worry about the stage fear. As we are blessed,talented and entertainers to entertain others by singing there is nothing to worry about this stage fear. Once you are thorough with your musical knowledge, take affirmations that deepen your experiences of success. Start creating new inner experiences which are deeply true. The more vivid your imagination,the more your cells absorb the new belief and follow it as an instruction.If a conflicting belief, discomfort, or mental objection arises,observe it with compassion, and imagine it dissolving into higher truth. Deep relaxation helps you to focus on subtle energy patterns.This is followed by a meditation on several power centers in the body-mind. Each center regulates an energy quality that is linked to voice development. Regarding the posture when you sit and sing you have to sit straight without crouching. Shoulder should be expanded. While standing, stand straight and either of the legs should be forward. For more details visit our course section and updates. read less
