A better question is how do you accept your fear so it will not feel like it's taking you over. Accept the fear, feel it, and allow it to be. It is worse if you try to deny the fear. When you allow it, it is there, you feel it, and you're okay.\n\nGood luck.

1. Practice your material until it's second nature\n2. Dress in comfortable clothing\n3. Look at things that do not cause you anxiety\n4. If you make a mistake do not dwell upon it ... move on confidently\n5. Pre-live the event ... running scenarios such as you forget your lines and recover or you do a great job.  This will get you shifted and ready for any eventuality.\n6. Know that people admire your ability to speak publicly and mistakes are understood and overlooked.

Its just a fear of being watched by all those people (the audience) I still dont like public speaking and find it hard to not get tongue tied. It could be you're just shy and u just have to keep trying to overcome it. Talk in front of people u dont know maybe on a smaller scale it might make u feel more confident about being on a stage.

I feel that in a big competition, win or lose, you did good to get to the top. A good tip is to always go with your gut instinct or first instinct. That thought is always the right one. If you're in the competition and think thats what it is, let it out. I always take the second choice and unfortunately, it does't pan out. For stage fright, I think you should stay calm and focus your mind on the one important reason you are there, to win! And by the way, GOOD LUCK! :)

You don't really get over the fear until you do it. Just before you go in, take a deep breath, think positive, be calm. The more you worry, the worse it is. If you look away, close your eyes, and just breathe while they are doing it, it doesn't hurt. ;)\n\nHope this helps,\nAshley

Try not to think about the fact that you are going to sing in front of people because the more you will think about it the more pressure you build.\n\nBefore you go up the stage and sing, imagine yourself singing in an empty room. Or that you are singing to your baby or someone you love. \n\nThe trick is to get you mind into somewhere comfortable. And then just let it be…..\n\nGood luck

don't be scared or nervous. take it from me a performing upcoming artist. everyone you see when you stand before a crowd is human just like you. maybe even worse than you. but think of how many people could do what you do when your before the crowd. pay attention to the crowd, and they'll pay attention to you. to pay attention costs nothing, but not paying attention costs everything. be yourself. the rest is up to you.

I am a teacher who also gets very nervous when doing a presentation or workshop in front of my peers, so try these tricks:\n\n1) Practice, practice, practice.  Rehearse in front of your family, friends, a mirror, whatever.  The more you know the material, the easier it will come.  Alot of the times you may get nervous because you are afraid you are going to screw up or look silly.  If you have what you are going to say down, that should help.  \n\n2) Before you go up, use the restroom.  On the way there, take big strides and swing your arms steadily.  Your goal here is to burn off the extra adrenaline and rthe exercise will help you relax.\n\n3) I cannot remember the proper name for this technique, but it DOES work.  Breathe in, tighten your stomach muscles, working from the top ones down to the bottom ones.  What you are doing is burning off excess adrenaline and at the same time breathing slower and deeper.  I use this one every time and it works great.  Once you have finished with the bottom muscles, exhale and repeat.\n\n4)  Relax...Breathe in slowly, hold your breath for 4 to 5 seconds, then slowly exhale.\n\n5)  Remember... that nobody sitting there is judging you.  They all understand how nerve racking it can be to speak in public.  They want you to succeed.\n\n6)  Pick one friendly, smiling face in the crowd and focus on that one person.  This doesn't mean that you don't scan the room and present to the class, but always return your focus to that one person and you will be ok.\n\nHope this helps!\n\n"There are two types of speakers: those that are nervous and those that are liars". - Mark Twain

oh yes, well as a professional entertainer I understand this one well.  The important thing is to have a great sense of humor.  Do this, imagine the worst possible scenarios and think of clever jokes to tell if they happen.  For example, I make balloon animals.  Sometimes my balloon pops and I get these mad glares from people.  I just shrug and say "ooops, I made a weasal... weasals always go pop!"  It really works!  You'll find that the more often you are on stage, the less nervous you will be.

If you want to sing in a band, but are afraid of getting up in front of people, that's your first problem.  I had stage fright in elementary school, but got over it quickly once I started a band and now can get up in front of anyone and do my own thing.  But that's just me...\n\nI would suggest to you (if you think your voice is bad) to try singing on your own when you're in your house alone, and then maybe in front of a mirror (I guess it could be your audience...).  Then once you feel confident in your singing voice, go somewhere (like a karaoke bar) where nobody knows you (maybe a few towns away) and sing there, and see what response you get.  They'll either love you or they'll hate you, but either way, you probably won't have to see them again after that night.  Keep doing that (where I am there are places that have karaoke nights at least once a week) until you feel comfortable singing in front of family and friends.  That's the hardest part, because you actually care what they think.  But, after getting up in front of complete strangers and singing, you'll probably be ready to be in a band and get up onstage and sing there too.

if you truly think you can do it, i say enter. a trick i learned before my school talent show is before you go on stage close your eyes and tap your forehead and count the taps. it helps because it makes your brain concentrate on the counting and taps instead of thinking about being nervous or all the bad things that could happen. it helped rid me of my stage fright.! hope i helped!

find someone who is very talented. Ask the person to use you as a dummy. Let the person throw you around for like 30 mins. Also be sure to learn how to all properly and in end you will not even care if you fall. \n\nbest way to overcome fear is to face it.

you are not alone,  public speaking is one the biggest fears faced by people.  you must feel confident, make sure your dressed to the tee, you smell good, your hair is done right.... beleive me the way you look influneces the way you feel about yourself.\nsecond,,,,,prepare,,,,  know whatever your speaking about.knowledge is power. power boosts confidence. \nthird, practice in front of mirror. \nthis sounds funny but it works , this is a sales technique , if you look convincing , you'll sound convincing. \ndont look anyone directly into the eyes. look above them but change the general direction of your look so they feel you are talking to the whole crowd.\nand lastly....... relax.you know what your doing.youll bee all right.... it will be over soon.

I have a stage fright problem myself, and have found that at least in my rhetoric abilitly that getting up and singing kareoke works for me... I know that if you have stage fright that it seems impossible at first, but in order to get up there you have several outs, you can be drunk, plastered, and even 3 sheets to the wind, but you also have the reassurance that almost everyone in there is just as hammered as you think that you will have to be to get up there.   try it and if that doesn't work, then there are support groups rhetoric classes, and even public forums, like anything else almost noone is born naturally great at it they have to practice.
