I used to do i bit of acting/drama/arts but stoped for a while. Recently i just signed up for drama again and im really nervous! Any advice anyone could give me to make me feel more comfortable, on stage, in front of a crowd?
Basically, just getting up there as much as possible is all I can say. The more you get used to performing and being on a stage, the easier it tends to get, though nerves obviously stll happen. I find it helps when you can become extremely relaxed and comfortable with the physical space you'll be working in. If you have a chance at some time to go hang out on the stage awhile by yourself, get acquainted with the floor and how it feels to look out on the seats, make it home to you, then it becomes much much easier, atleast for me, when there are people present; you feel like you're in your natural environment. Have faith in yourself - it'll come back to you. Don't think too much - just know who you are, and DON'T think too much.
