Nervous Shaking?

Question

Well,I was in my drama audition and all of a sudden when i was doing a part.I got really nervous.I began to figit and my hand began shaking.I did my lines fine and even the teacher said it.He said i did well in my audition but he was worried that that would happen during the play. I told him that wouldn't but how do i control it?

Answer 1

Sonya just about has it. If you concentrate on acting, you will not shake.  It is as simple as that. You must have started to think about the audition instead of acting and that is what made u start shaking.

Answer 2

Take deep breaths and keep yourself warm to control the shaking.

For the nervousness in general, throw yourself into the character. Focus on the scene and the emotions, and you will forget about being nervous. (Sounds strange, but it really does work).

Good luck!
