Help, i need to get over nervousness!?

Question

I'm doing a singing contest and i need to know how to get over nervousness.

Answer 1

if you are nervous and dont believe, you wont win. now if you get yourself thinking "hey, im on top, i can beat all of you SUCKAS!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!! im the best and this thing is a peice of cake!" thats how you do it, sister. you need positive energy and belief, and just pretend like ur singing in the shower :)

Answer 2

just dont think about it.  

Answer 3

just say to yourself, "hey, i'd sing this song in front of each individual person here, why not do it all together?"

and you can do it. (:

Answer 4

it's something that really only comes with time and experience. I've been performing onstage and in front of people for the majority of my life, and it's only been the last couple years that I've been absolutely comfortable getting up in front of a crowd to sing or play music.

I found it helped me to focus on one person in the audience, or else look slightly above the audience, so I didnt' have to make eye contact with anyone. I found that made the nerves easier. Also, once you get going, it'll get easier.

Answer 5

Practice in front of a small group of people (family) and then keep adding the audiences (friends, karaoke at a local bar, etc)
