Performance anxiety is a big problem among performers of all kinds and at all levels of experience. Finding ways of dealing with anxiety and turning nerves and adrenaline into positive forces in your performance are just as important as great technique and knowing what you’re afraid of is half the battle. It’s important to identify the source of fear, in order to deal with it successfully. These are some of the most common fears: cracking during a performance, making a fool of yourself in front of friends, forgetting words, constantly worrying about success or failure, rejection, and the list goes on. Once you can name your fear you can take steps to overcome it. After you find the source, move forward and find a solution to eliminate it and not just the symptom. When you have an adrenaline rush in the body, it results in a racing heart. Running in place until you’re out of breath is one way to duplicate the effect of an adrenaline rush – then practice singing while your heart races. When you practice out of breath you will get used to singing phrases where you just want to exhale and quit singing. Breathlessness is similar to what happens when anxiety strikes during the performance. Every time you take the breath, you can feel it falling into your body. When this happens just realize you can sing even when the heart is pounding relentlessly. It’s just not easy. You may find comforting the knowledge that thousands of other singers face the same icky anxiety you feel right before a performance. Whether it’s butterflies, shaky knees, a sudden dry mouth, the urge to run, shaky hands, nausea or many other issues, any one of them can surface. Most singers assume they should be calm and collective before a performance, but for most people it’s just not the case and believing they should be only increases the anxiety.Expecting to be nervous and jittery, on the other hand, can enable you to sing through your anxiety. Once you learn to take control of your nerves you can use that adrenaline to actually enhance your performance. In the end, if you accept your nerves and take advantage of your adrenaline it will be much easier to push past the anxiety and become a better performer.
