Answer 3

You're self-confident? But you want people to boost your confidence?

I have an idea: try actually paying attention in English class. How are you going to write resumes if you don't know your proper English?

Answer 4

when you're alone, practice cold readings or search for monologues and perform them (that way you can see how you do without the embarrassment of an audience just yet). If you feel stuck on characterization, or not sure how to deliver a certain line, ask acting teachers/coaches for advice and tips. Remember, you are your worst critic so anytime you slip up, not everyone is gonna care as much as you will.

Also, to be an actor, you gotta be willing to step into uncomfortable situations, so prepare yourself for those times - i use to be really shy, then i did an acting class which had a final of doing stand-up comedy in front of a full crowd. i was so nervous but once i did it, i felt amazed and proud of myself for doing something i never thought was possible. So yeah, how many times do you see actors in movies perform embarrassing roles (like cameron diaz in My Best Friends Wedding singing karaoke, or even leonardo  dicaprio playing a mentally disabled kid in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, etc)

I wasn't sure if you meant you were self-conscious on you acting or just as you as a person, so i assumed with the topic on acting! :)

Answer 5

If you have confidence on yourself please go ahead

Answer 6

You just have to remember that the people who come to see you perform are there to see you do well and if you mess up no one's going to care! Try to improve your focus. Once you improve your focus you can stay concentrated on the scene and who you are. If you are someone else you should not have to worry about self confidence because the person you are is not self conscious. Good luck!

Answer 7

Well, I would just say get up there on stage as much as you can. I've learned that once you do it enough times it gets more comfortable.

Also, maybe have friends help you. Maybe they can give you a "pep talk" of some sort before you perform.
