How do I stop getting nervous?

Question

I auditioned for a musical at my school and the cold read part went great. BUT when it was time to sing I just couldn't do that in front of so many other people. I started geting all quiet, my voice was trembling, didn't reach the right notes and so on. When I was in 7th grade better then I did now. My chorus teacher is letting me re do it but I still have to do it in front of a crowd so any tips?

Answer 1

Pretend nobody is there.

You are singing to a bunch of dolls and barbies.

You are far away from people.

If you don't sing loud enough, the dolls can't hear your lovely voice.

Answer 2

Ignore everyone, and just focus 100% on what you are doing...TOTALLY, when you focus on something, everything else fades away.

Answer 3

Visualize your audience as naked. It will make you smile and relax. It is a trick of public speakers.
