I'm sure all of us, at one point or another, have all experienced the shaky knees, the racing heart, and the increased sweat that comes from stage fright. For awhile, I lived with the idea in my head that it didn't exsist for me. Boy was I wrong! I can get up in front of a large audience and do practically anything without being afraid. When it comes to small audiences....(namely auditions), I'm toast. I REALLY don't understand this. I go into auditions, even for the smallest things, shaking like a leaf. It's really the last place that one would want to have stage fright. If you screw up because you're too nervous, you don't get cast......thats it, end of story. Now comes the real delema...finding a way past it. None of the typical tricks have worked for me. And I'm not real sure what fool came up with the idea of picturing your audience naked.....cause that's almost more traumatizing than the actual audition!
Like i said.....EW! I guess the only thing to do is to practice, do the best that you can, and except your fate. My policy in life has always been to "fake it till you make it". I guess it definately applies here!!
