Remember...You are not alone!

Many performers suffer the agony of performance anxiety. I certainly have. It can show up in many forms, either physically. sweaty palms, shaking knees, dry throat, butterflies in the stomach or in the form of a negative internal voice criticizing the ongoing performance etc. For some, it can manifest as a blank mind, forgetting the words, the passages or phrases.

Any or all of these symptoms affect performance. Stage fright or performance anxiety presents itself in many forms and in differing intensity. For some, just thinking about an upcoming performance starts the cycle, for others it may appear just before stepping onto the stage or up to the podium.

The fear of being judged, of making a fool of yourself, making mistakes while all eyes are on you can be so debilitating that many performers may begin to avoid performing altogether.

For many there is also a stigma attached in admitting to performance anxiety and yet it is one of the most commonly held fears, inhibiting not only musicians, singers, and actors, but also people leading business meetings, making presentations, or engaged in public speaking.

These overwhelming thoughts and feelings can appear to take over, gain momentum and begin to spiral out of control. Finding a friendly face in the crowd, deep breathing or trying to imagine the audience in the nude just doesn’t seem to work!

But you can change... Now, imagine

• Turning your Performance Anxiety into Performance Energy.
• Losing that feeling of overwhelming helplessness, of feeling out of control and replacing it with a awesome feeling of confidence
• Being relaxed yet passionate in front of an audience
• Stepping into character with authenticity
• Silencing your internal critical voice
• Performing with the freedom you know you possess!

It is time to make the change, to gain control and to take action now.
