Even the most confident performers (表演者) have experienced stage fright (怯场). It is common for everyone from Broadway actors to experienced hosts. If you have stage fright, then you may start to feel nervous, shaky, or even scared at the thought of performing in front of audience (观众). But don’t worry — you can deal with it by training your body and mind to relax and trying a few tips.
Fake (假装) confidence. Even if your heart is racing, just act like the coolest person in the world. Walk with your head high and a big smile on your face, and don’t tell anyone how nervous you are. Keep this posture (姿势) when you get on the stage and you’ll start to feel confident.
Create a ritual (仪式). Come up with a helpful ritual for the day of your performance. This could be a five - kilometre jog on the morning of your performance, the same “last meal” before your performance, or even singing a certain song in the shower or putting on your lucky socks. Do whatever you have to do to lead yourself toward success.
Think positively (积极地). Think about all of the possible amazing results of your performance instead of everything that could go wrong. Fight every negative (消极的) thought with five positive ones. Keep a small card with encouraging words in your pocket, or do whatever you need to do to focus on all of the good things that the performance will give you.
Get advice from a professional (专业的) performer. If you have friends who have experienced performing, ask for their advice.
