[blahblahblah1463]

Help me i gotta sing solo in my christmas concert at skool and I am f****** scared that video did not help anyone got any suggestions?

[KeonoTakahime]

@blahblahblah1463 Hm, idk if this would be helpful, but its something. I sang in choir for 7 yrs, and i still have stage fright. But, whenever i have solos, i usually take a huge breath in my diaphragm before i start singing. After that, I dont look at the audience. Instead, I look at one point that SEEMS like im staring at everyone. Ex. A chair, door, etc. I know its weird, but it worked. Once u do that, imagine that youre owning the stage.

[KeonoTakahime]

@blahblahblah1463 But, if you do this, make sure you dont turn your head to the side and sing to a wall.....lol XD

i know it isnt much. But i tried =|

[nemesis1ization]

[justsk8dec]

[Gloria65179]

[juliarocksohyeah12]

[koolkiller35]

[PoppinChix911]

So they blur out the cat in the hat but tropicana is just fine and dandy to advertise?

[bboyJIZ1]

masterbating before the show works well

[MusicWrittingMonster]

why is the stuff cencored?

[ennacde]

@MusicWrittingMonster Because of copyright issues and/or free advertising of another brand.

[kawaiipony101]

She's reading The Cat in the Hat what the hell

[lilygstar23]

I didn't even know they were helping me no wonder things are different I feel lucky! :D* <3

[lilygstar23]

Ha wow I used to have really bad stage fright when I was in 4th grade and I'm a freshman now and I have been doing these things just because I love orange juice, my lucky charm is my star necklace in which I where 24/7 since it was my 5th grade graduation gift, I love bath and body words lotion so and have really soft skin cuz I always used lotion, I chew gum, I look above the audience at the lights, and LOVE kettle corn, and I was in a lit class where we had to write poems!

[Booksareepic]

2:22 I wonder what the book is?

[xilent234]

I DON'T HAVE JUICE! THIS IS WHY I CAME HERE :'(

[RocbarStarbie]

its THETA waves.. but what ever..you say alpha i say theta..lets just call the whole thing off

[331paradiddle]

Focus on the task and have fun. Thats why you do what you do. If youre not having fun, find another line of work because if you are that scared to perform you probably arent doing it well anyway.

[GlowStickRaver66]

Step 7 : Put a piece of hardened dog shit in your pocket for good luck.

[hellobye771]

@GlowStickRaver66 made my day



[minhaj18]

@GlowStickRaver66 lol

[hyena419]

[greenglitterpuff12]

[ncs2000]

doesn't work for me

[MohammedK101]

we can clearly see tropicana

[Smilies85]

wow they really fail at bluring things out lol

[bomberfun1]

masturbate before speech is what you want to do

[foolintherain100]

@bomberfun1 Lol that actually works XD!

[crazy4baseball47]

i just say fuck the crowd im ganna let you know how i feel thru my music bitches!!!! =D

[Webkinzarethecoolest]

It's easy if you own glasses. All you must do is take them off, and you're talking to a huge, black blob.

[Hissanrach]

@Webkinzarethecoolest I COMPLETELY agree with this one. Normally I wear contacts, but if I have to do a speech or talk to someone important, I plan in advance and wear glasses. Taking them off makes it so you can't focus on anything specific unless it's really close (if you're nearsighted). Really helpful, makes talking to a crowd a breeze.

[TheMrStephenator]

Don't worry guys...that was NOT "the cat in the hat!"

[MegaStella26]

Did not help at all

[MusicPerformCoach]

@MegaStella26 If you need a bullet proof way to deal with stage fright ping me on Twitter

[prhrrngtn]

The thing about drinking orange juice is that it may lower blood pressure, but the fluid can get caught in your throat and make your voice sound like something is blocking it. Try drinking it the night before

[iFauxPas]

@prhrrngtn

Drinking it the night before would be pointless since the effect only lasts 40 minutes. Orange juice 20 minutes before shouldn't make too much of a difference unless you're singing. Just have some water on hand just in case. Dairy, on the other hand, should never be consumed directly before a performance, etc.

[DarthSladus]

hmmm, was that "the cat in the hat"??? lol

[AzarathMetrion505]

I've got no time to do those things! My performance will start in a minute!

Just "Break a leg"..

lol.. ^^

[fashionlover5]

oh and i just found out about my 2nd part last week and practice didn't go so well the first time i missed my line 2nd time i wasnt loud enough and i went too fast

[fashionlover5]

im really scared about my upcoming performance in the play annie on may 5th 6th (either 6th or 4rth) and 10th though i only have 2 small parts they weren't mine at first the apple seller has 3 LINES thats it but it was my friends part but she thought the part was to small so she quit so i dont feel like i deserve the part my other part is usherette it was a other girls part but she was missed to many days so she doesnt have the part but i was origanally chorus which i hated but im still scared:(

[oOiHeartMakeupOo]

LMAO were we not suppose to know she was reading the cat in the hat???

[92pinko]

Hmmm.. Only one year so far, I've been totally relaxed because I was doing a duet with my best friend, who was extremely nervous. And now both of us are doing solos in the upcoming concert. I hope I can find a instant relaxer for us.

[mohitl1985]

The Art of Living workshops teach breathing techniques to quickly overcome stage fright ! It really works !

[andreagustke]

2:27 blur fail! X)

[pokemonkids2]

wow u can tell that the censor says the cat and the hat

[Sonneillon11]

Just ignore the audience and do your thing !!. DONE :)

[moneyquickeasy]

@Sonneillon11 But audiences like interaction. Not to be ignored.

[forrestjump]

Silly!!!!

[samsonbenson12]

@themusiciansdiary I have been singing and talking all my life, but I don't just sing and talk on stage, when I was a child, I sang like there was no tomorrow. Never had stage fright except when people booed me one time. I get nervous just before I go on stage though.

[letsgolefties]

Hahah tropicana and cat in the hat :)

[OfficialDreTv]

i got my first conert coming up with my friends wonder will i be scared

[crazyanimegirl98]

they r realy bad at fuzzing out the book name its so cat in the hat

[techbeast34]

Cat in the Hat FTW!

[Caitliano101]

Lol she's reading cat in the hat!

[co0ki3m0nst3r1]

mutter insults. i can easily do that!

[XSeanxMeowX]

OJ = ORANGE JIZZ!!!!!!!

[Sandwichguy16]

Is the lucky charm a stick or a turd?

[1233supernina]

hahahahahthey blured out the cat in the hat

[SCFowler1175]

That's the biggest bagel I've ever seen

[SavedSinner91]

wtf lol what a waste of time this is. The only way to overcome stage fright is through practice and experience which will, in turn, give you the confidence you need to do your very best without the fear.

[Maddog652]

@SavedSinner91 Yes this is a waste of time, I even tired some of these things, and they didn't do anything. The only way I conquered stage fright is when I went in front of an audience, and I saw there faces and it gave me a adrenaline rush, and now every time I am on stage I get a adrenaline rush which gets rid of the stage fright.

[tmtpuppylove]

u can so tell the book is the cat in the hat

[jackson5arecool]

thats all i have to do thanks

[flamer41]

ok screw being afraid! Dont be afraid cuz ur just making it worse. When I was in grade 8 I was damn scared and made a fool bout myself cuz I didnt talk loud enough. I felt shitty after and always wondered why i have self confidence and that I easily get stage fright. Be condfident in yourself, so what if u fucked up. Millions of students did sumthing stupid before. My best tip is to get pumped up & hyper and exercise ur voice before talking and look at the crowd but keep your eye out of focus.

[drgigglesdoescocaine]

sieamens...did u see the comercial

[kl2ssu]

HAHA BOOK IS cat with a hat :B

[themusiciansdiary]

Stage fright is really common to everyone performing. It has gotten much better over the years for me, but it has never gone away, and it probably won't. Nonetheless, I still love to be on the stage sharing music with people.

[stan3331]

i wonder what book that was.... lol

[JF0urnier]

lmao @ 2:25 sounded like they said "a gun" :P

[Rebornprodigy22]

@NinJaPaNdaPOcKyP0wER lol i know man i was being sarcastic.lol.thanks though.=),glad theres people on here that actually help people besides harassing them.

[Rebornprodigy22]

what was that girl reading?

[GimmeXcookies]

lol i get motivated whenever i see a bitch in my class and im like oh no i'm not going to let her see me be a total fool. Then i get all pumpd up :]

[kinglaith7]

I get stage fright all the time. My advice is to STOP trying to get rid of it. Stage fright, for the most part, won’t go away. Fear is energy, so use it as energy. Put it into your performance, and you'll see what I mean. Without that energy, your performance will be lifeless, stale, and empty. Just remember this: EVERYONE IS NOT AGAINST YOU. If you start to slip, lock your eyes onto your cast mate’s, & react. Keep focus on your lines, not on how many people there are. Forget the people!!!

[Maddog652]

@kinglaith7 Really great advice

[KYRA5682]

when she had the bagel i thought it waas a HUGE cookie

[EddieATurner]

Xanax helps me. With the vodka

[AmyLmonkey]

Gee, I wonder what she was reading?

[BailarinaTrojana]

@39smoothgreenday

It's also obvious that she was reading Cat in the Hat.

[The1stGossipBoy]

i tried Soda instead of juice it didnt go well.

[SparklingCutiee]

NEVER drink soda before you perform o.o

the burps will get you..

[TheCommentCookie]

I need glasses to see far away things, for presentations, i just take them off

[chitchitybangbang]

one time in my college speech class I had to talk for ten minutes. You bet downed half a puerto rican rum before standing up and talking....lol

[VVS1397]

Whenever I have to do something in front of people I think of bad things about them unless they are really nice... It's so mean but it works.

[slick5066]

nice green orange juice lol

[HunnyXCakeforever]

I think of girls being naked and guys as Chuck Norris clapping

[bomberfun1]

@HunnyXCakeforever this crap does not work

[selGdemparamtwilight]

Fuck that. Im gonna be a hermit

[guitarplayer9090]

rofl 27sec through 32

[guitarplayer9090]

fail they tried to block out the oj!!! lol

[demilovatogirl1]

thats cat in the hat

[TomSouthLondon]

ooooh fuck off. my sentiments by 27 seconds.

[SRNF]

Here is something that will work.

Step one: Get a lot experience in front of crowds to desensitize your nerves.

Done.

[askme123789]

what if you suck anyway

[BF2User5]

Even when it is blurred I can read it.

[AshCosgrove]

Dude the orange juice totally took its clothes off... what a whore.

[flyingpiggyprincess]

did anyone notice they blurd the tropicana orange juce logo??

[cuzzo820]

shes hot

[maycraren]

[Hotstuffix]

Censor fail

[rbsaar1999]

@Hotstuffix Did you mean the juice name censor fail?(Tropicana)

[BlueSnow4545]

Why did their blur out a orange juice really?

[studd901]

@BlueSnow4545 lol they blurred out the oj? i didn't even notice

[BlueSnow4545]

@studd901

xD.

[retrohippie]

If I follow these tips, i'll be spent and ready to go to bed before I even get to the damn speech...

[marx7290]

you can rub something else with that lotion

[coolname0098]

its so easy to tell that the juice is tropicana and the book is the cat in the hat

[xxxPLAYGIRL4lifexxx]

WTF?!? juice gum lotion what the hell??? juice will mess with your voice expecially not citrus

[GoldieGurl08]

if your singing you rele only want to drink water becuz juice coats your throat and causes you to swallow more

[illlanoize23]

I don't really get nervous when I'm playing an away game but when it's a home game I get nervous as hell. That why Im on d cuz all u really have 2 do is hit people. But I either way I still get a lil tense sumtimes but whateva I'll just keep tryin.

[Ariesjp]

i'm gonna try all this shit.lol

[TheGuyInUrCloset]

Ok, here is the trick I use and it works really well.

1) Just look right over the tops of your audience's heads. NEVER look directly into anyone's eyes. It will scare the !@#$% outa you.

2) This one might take a bit of practice, but try and unfocus your eyes. If everything is blurry, what is there to be afraid of? (besides a cat wearing a hat apparently! :)

[Maddog652]

@TheGuyInUrCloset 1) How come you don't want to look at the audience's eyes. If you do you have a connection with that person, and there emotions.

2) If everything is blurry then you can't see the reaction on the audience's faces.

[sahandn9]

Total b.s.!

[AMANDgomez]

i do have a bit of stage fright but im not so sure and of these would even work

[RosalieHaleisme1]

omg i love the stage and will do anyhting to be on it...ive benn in dance for 10 yrs and i am taking all the classes...anthing for the stage....i luv it so much!!!!!!

[elliebabe155]

The Worst Thing is I only got like this recently, last year I was Ok. But What I really hate about it is I want to be a singer so I am battling with my Issue Any Advice??

[WyattNyte15]

OMG is that her?! that one bleach blonde girl that's in most howcast vids, it looks like her only with brown hair

[MsSeverusSnapexoxo]

2:43

[hamacidilvalo74]

[cBadaoui20]

[yacquelin1234]

Why do they have to blur it oout we know its tropicana juice and cat in the hat

[cBadaoui20]

@yacquelin1234 loll truee haa

[MusicIsF0rever]

thank you so much for these helpful tips. im a singer so i can use them all the time. thanks so much XD

[cha1235]

how can you focus on what youre doing if your trying to imagine everyone as a naked clone of one person?

[pickachu32]

the cat in the hat.. is blurred D:

[KoolzKidProduction]

so every time i go on stage i say to the crowd: BITCHES!! ok now lets start

[Maio0oia]

why the hell did they blur the cat in the hat? like we don't know it :/

[654ha123]

[LoopInc]

[Kracg999]

Step 2: Drink citrus juice before you go on stage.

[vtwilight]

nice job trying to cover up tropicana....

[ShackArt]

so If I take a shit and shove it in my pocket i'll be good?

[ThatNatalieGirl]

this is the biggest load of shit i've ever heard.

visual the healing light?

w

t

f

[UtubeDude011]

THE TEENAGE GIRL HAS A WIFE?!

[amsterdamska]

this is all bull.

the secret of overcoming fear is: selfconfidence.

are you scared of having a speech in ur living room? prolly not. would u b scared to hold a speech in front of your cat or dog? prolly not. why? because they wont judge you. you dont care what ur cat will think. confident people dont care what other people will think of them. they just do and act the way they want. they r confident of themselves.

[neltod]

I wanna see her tattoo :)

[FlamingLavaOwl]

Step 9, snort cocaine before going onto stage.
