Should i be scared....

Question

to be in my first play and is it really nerve racking

Answer 1

I started acting in live productions at the age of 8.  I was incredibly shy growing up and didn't actually come out of my shell until college.  Despite that, I loved theatre.  It gives you a chance to really explore different characters and personalities without being judged.  It's not like public speaking, because you're interacting and the majority of the time, the audience won't notice if you messed up a line.  You're also not just staring at an audience.  Get lost in your character.  There's nothing to be nervous about.  If you mess up, it's your character that messed up.  Roll with it.  Deal with the mistake as your character would, and no one will notice.  

Answer 2

Remember that it's not you on the stage and saying those words. It's the someone else, its the character.
