@aleksa1341 That's a challenge. . .yet just imagine you are dancing for one person only, and you'll be fine every time.

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!???

@ehryn20 I suggest you realize that becoming an expert in a skill requires the ability to endure some failures. Look on each one as a learning experience that brings you closer to the expertise you want to acquire. Even as a professional speaker, I have endured some presentations that didn't go as well as I wanted. So you are not experiencing anything unique. Eventually, your preparation--and your persistence--will allow you to sing with poise.

You actually made a mistake while saying "we make mistakes" but you managed to regain your words. I envy that, on stage I would skips a few words so it doesnt make any sence. I have a final drama exam coming up next week and i'm so nervous. I'll be shaking and have sweaty palms and I wont be able to get my words out or anything. I really dont want to do this exam :/
