got any good tips how to get rid of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like when you gotta pee but there is someone there and then you cannot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sort of yeah..but only when there are more than 10 people present. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best way that works for me is don't think about it at all. don't think about being onstage - pretend it won't happen. if you put it out of your mind, you won't worry about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i tried that but it isn't working. how do you do that? (you must have incrediby strong mind..) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Practice grounding. As you're walking, standing or sitting before the event, picture in your mind the image of your feet being firmly planted on the ground or that of you to your seat. It works. |

alchohol / drugs |

i was thinking pot, but i sort of have to keep my concentration :( brokephones, that sounds like a good idea..i'll try it out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah thats probably the easiest way. A couple of drinks can help loosen you up. Then again if one doesnt drink then this is most likely out the window. Goran: I hate when that happens because i really do have to go but my stupid body is all "ooooooh no you dont mister" and then i have no say. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really don't. it just takes practice. keep yourself busy with other things, do projects, read, etc. but any time you start thinking about your being onstage, change the subject. think about other things. i still get nervous right before getting onstage, but at any other point, i don't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could drink - obviously it's the easiest way. but it also doesn't help you build confidence and it never solves the problem. you will never get used to being onstage without a drink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just don't think about it and just do it. JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!. JUST DO IT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was jesting. neck some xanax. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"keep yourself busy with other things, do projects, read," i'd be probably thinking why im doing that while doing it :) but yes, i must learn to keep my mind off of it.. |
||||||||

propranolol is good for the physical symptoms of stagefright, and wont affect your concentration. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can i get that without perscription? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stage fright gets worse and worse as the anxity builds up. Just do it without dwelling on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best way I found was to get a reaction straight away. Do something silly/funny, put your headphones on dance like an idiot for about a minute in silence, then say to the crown "you should hear this it's great", then hit it.... I find if you get a connection with your audience on a personal level it is a whole lot easier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if i can do it, anyone can. it isn't hard to control this if you just force yourself and exert willpower. it's just mind over matter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, sorry... but it is approved for this, and is not addictive, so your doc would prob have no concern about writing an RX for it. But even then, it didn't really work for me, but i've heard that people who have predominantly physical symptoms - sweating, palpitations, shakes etc - really rate it. |
||||||||

|
that's a beta blocker. crush it up and snort it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its funny, ive no problems getting up on a stage to talk, but when im in exams with a teacher and a censor im having major difficulties. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the stage is like a bubble: your drowned in light and you only notice the audience if you try really hard to look into the darkness; Whereas in an exam it is much more personal and closer to home, it's like being scruitenized at every step. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i get troubles breathing properly..you gave some good advice, i'll try some of those things! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good luck! whatever you do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are you performing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, it isn't a performance in a classic sense..just when you need to say something or read something infront of a large group of people. i remember when i was at college i had that same problem, but it went away after first few times..i haven't been doing this sort of thing ever since and it apperantly came back :) |

Drink lots of water. My throat goes dry. I had to do a massive presentation to about 100 people. I hate getting up on stage by myself. Strange to think I once did a Piano recital! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh my..i think it's essential to begin calm, because if you mess it up at the start there's very little chance you'll pull it off because the anxiety would just grow probably.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sweaty palms will almost certainly kill a piano recital, believe me its happened to me during my music AS. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the easiest way is to know your subject inside and out. be prepared, and then there's no reason to be anxious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what i was doing at uni and it worked! but sometimes you just can't know everything and something takes you by surprise..i hate that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That situation sounds like a good time to take propranolol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good advice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too late now. maybe i'll use it in time for my A levels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shut up will ya! stop recomending everyone beta blockers! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, I'm not a pill pusher normally, but these are harmless, take it or leave it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they bloody aren't! AND theyre prescription only for good reason. for example, any allergies can be made much worse, in particular asthma. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OKOK, there are contraindications, but compared to alcohol/xanax etc mentioned here i think they are far safer, i know my GP thought they were a fairly benign med. But lets not get into this, it was just a suggestion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry i thought it rather obvious i was joking about xanax and alchohol! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bet its hilarious to watch me do public speaking. i always race through my prepared material and i'm sure i sound like alvin and the chipmunks |
||||||||

or Beaker "mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi" |

|
|
i should think most men arent listening to you even if theyre looking in your direction |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this to do with the radio Tolst? in any case, all the advice people have given you is good... but just remember to be confident in yourself, i know it sounds clicheed and all but it's true... you know your shit, there's no reason to worry about it... i'm rooting for you :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, thanks! infact it isn't about the radio..dunno how i'll handle that yet :D im thinking it shouldn't be too tough since i won't be speaking directly to people...but could be i'll get stuck when the green light will go on :) |

theres nothing to be ashamed of when youre talking about something you are not completely in control of, like a college presentation type thing. I hate doing it because obviously I know nothing about the topics before this presentation so I don't feel like the audience respects me and I dont trust my info particularly either. If at all possible you should try to have something to say which should be of interest to people or which you are keen to talk about, it makes the rest seem more important to you |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Damn! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

getting rid of stage fright: lock yourself in a room with a stage and stare at it and think about all the scary people that are going to be OHIJEST just get out there. if you're talking pre-pre jitters (the stuff you get a few days ahead), physical exercise (especially useful if you don't normally exercise, as the pain will take your mind off it) works. |
