Fight Stage Fright

Watching other professionals is crucial because as an actor, you have the chance to breakdown what exactly they are doing. Remember to make note of their reactions, how bold or shy they come across, and the way they use the stage, project their voice and stance. This will also expand your knowledge of what to do, and what not to do when you see wrong choices made.

Watching theater in your area is important whether you are in theater or film – you must  watch other actors act.

Tip 1 - Watch someone else perform a part you have acted out in the past.

Tip 2 - Watch two different performers play the same role. Who do you believe and why? Take notes.

DID YOU FIND THIS USEFUL?

Its difficult to work through all the information out there about the industry – so many advisers with different advice.

The key tool is to trust your instincts. Remember that If something that you read on a website, or something a so called expert, tells you doesn’t sit well, it probably isn’t quality advice or isn’t in your best interests.

The best people are those who are well experienced and highly educated. A selection of theory and practice always make for the best advisers. Look at a number of sources and compare, and always question yourself what makes logical sense.

If a person provides you advice, don’t be frightened to question WHY? Do their reasons check out? 

Remember to talk to someone who is in the course – not a freshman, but a senior – they can provide you perspectives on all aspects of the course, you are able to then make your mind up if it’s a good alignment for you and your goals. 

Remember you need to continue to learn from other actors

Stage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, fear, or persistent phobia which may be aroused in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience, whether actually or potentially (for example, when performing before a camera).

In the context of public speaking, this fear is termed glossophobia, one of the most common of phobias. Such anxiety may precede or accompany participation in any activity involving public self-presentation.

In some cases stage fright may be a part of a larger pattern of social phobia or social anxiety disorder, but many people experience stage fright without any wider problems. Quite often, stage fright arises in a mere anticipation of a performance, often a long time ahead. It has numerous manifestations: fluttering or pounding heart, tremor in the hands and legs, sweaty hands, diarrhea, facial nerve tics, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction.
