I used foreign language lessons.  I was having such a hard time speaking out loud in a foreign tongue that I couldn't help thinking, "If only it were English."  Something *clicked* and I haven't been afraid of speaking or acting as long as it was in English.  \n\nThe other thing I would recommend is realize that every one in your audience wants you to do well.  They are on your side.\n\nIt is also fair to say "I have stage fright, but I am still going out there."  Sometimes it is nerve racking, but the moment you step out on the stage it just melts away.  This has happened to me more than once.\n\nAlso, it is good to have a friend in your audience.  Someone that will smile when you look at them.\n\nGood luck!

My flute professor tells us to try and make yourself more nervous. Can you make your hands shake more, can you make your palms sweatier? Chances are, it will stop. Also, if you are standing, try to be really aware of your feet on the ground. Plus, accept the fact that mistakes are meant to be made. It also couldnt hurt to be prepared. :) Good luck!

Herbal remedies to calm fear of what if?\n\nHere are three harmless methods you may want to try:\n\n1) Hypericum Perforatum\n\n2) Bachflower Rescue Remedy\n\n3) Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM.\n\n\nHow to use these?\n\n1) Hypericum Perforatum\nIt build the nerves, strengthens the immune system and soothes pain. It make you feel relaxed without being sleepy, unless you are exhausted and would need a good sleep.\nI would want to use 2 - 4 pills (on milk sugar base only) in one ounce of water. I would take one drop under my tongue every few seconds until the condition gets better, then less and less often, may be every 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 minutes. Yet, at least 5 times a day. I would make the remedy fresh every day, less when less is needed.\n\nI like to add a bit of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar to taste. It has worked wonders for me! Advanced European hospitals are using it!\n\n2) Bachflower Rescue Remedy\nWhen you feel run down and rather shocked and exhausted than hyper, this remedy helps.\nI would buy a stock bottle and use 4 drops of the stock remedy on an ounce of water in a dropper bottle. Then I would take it very often like Hypericum, see above.\n\nParents have made the mistake to use Bachflower Rescue Remedy for hyper children before bed time and guess what, they got MORE energy! The parents would have needed this remedy! \n\n3) Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM\nIt works with the negative while staying positive. It is easy to do and takes only a minutes or three if you like. It is done every day before sleeping time. One does not have to know the origin of the fear, stress or else. It has worked for many since 1979! You find it spelled out at http://www.biochakra.com, click Hilites, go to the end of the monthly Hilite article, click Archives, Click Spiritual Energies, Predictions and the Bible, and find Bio*Chakra Light MeditationTM.\n\nFurthermore, measure your pH, you may be highly acidic, which corrodes your nerves. To measure, get a roll of pH paper from a health food store, dip a strip in urine and one in saliva and read the discoloration and its number by comparing it to the colors on the box. The pH, in my experience, should always be 7.5, or problems may start!\n\nOne or all of these may help.\n\nEnjoy!\nCordially, India.Magica

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! :)

Take your wife to eat close to the mall...then excuse yourself to the restroom...go to your car, put on your costume...entertain...say you'll be back shortly...run back to the restaurant...and just do this all night. I know it works 'cause I saw it on Mrs. Doubtfire!!!

Watch TV......with a baseball bat to be sure I'm safe! Lock the door! You could also listen to music or clean your room. The ideas are endless! But I would prefer you don't watch scary movies! Another good idea is to make tea or hot cocoa! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The easiest way but deals with some sort of embarrassment is bedwetting.\n\nAllow yourself to wet the bed and force yourself to no matter what treatments they try.  \n\nGood luck.

try a love note and flowers.  sorry; i don't know a cure for shyness.  I used to be, but it's been fading recently.  Just try diving in and doing it.  If you start hesitating, just do it without thinking (worked about 50% of the time for me)

Best thing I learned through four years of acting school was to keep practicing. If you have to do this presentation soon, go to a public place, any place, the mall, the park, where it is fairly crowded. Practice your debate or your side of the debate here. Raise your voice, and give your speech. People will look at you like your insane at first, but you will notice after a while, they will start to ignore you. If you can get comfortable doing this when you give the real debate it will be a piece of cake! It take guts, but try it! It really works! and if you can't do this practice alone, take some friends with you to cheer you on. Stage fright fear is, funny, and powerful, once you get over it, you can wield it like a wizard and use your stage presence to win your audience. Hope you try it and good luck!

By accepting that you're there and that there is nothing you can do about it. It looks bad when you try to get rid of the nervousness. It looks like you're trying to hide something. If you're nervous, be nervous. It's ok.\n\nGood luck.

Smile :) Be loud :0 And sharp. Practice in front of a mirror so you can make sure your motions are right and sharp. Slopy motion will make it so you won't make it. Perform any tricks you can like jumps, handsprings and cartweels.\n\nGood luck

stop singing, rest a while, take only warm substances avoid cold stuff...this does it for me...A mixture of honey, ginger and garlic crushed together into a paste...lick a bit and then sip some warm water, continue doing this, as you feel your throat healing, sing some simple notes...it really does work, try it and give me a feed back.
