Are your legs trembling before large audiences?Do you forget anything?You are not alone.Professional performers can suffer from lack of confidence.Even the biggest of audiences can be handled with good delivery techniques.You can do it if you think it through!
Step 1: Look at your best performance.
Think about how the performance could go well instead of imagining the worst scenario.Do you remember why you are doing this performance?The good feelings will increase your confidence.
Step 2: It's a good idea to practice before a performance day.
Make sure that you know everything at once, completely by heart.You can make sure you don't forget anything by going through everything daily.You won't feel nervous if you forget something on stage.If you're giving a speech or participating in a debate, research the topic thoroughly.You can speak confidently if you have more knowledge of the subject matter.This is important if you will answer questions after the speech.
Step 3: It's a good idea to record yourself for help.
If you don't know how you look on stage, record yourself practicing and watch it back.You can work on any mistakes you see if you have a clear idea of what the audience will see.
Step 4: Negative thoughts can be eliminated.
Your confidence will plummet if you start telling yourself that you can't do this.You start to see reality when you tell yourself anything.This will make you think that you can't pull off confidence on stage no matter how hard you work.Put an end to this practice by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones.It is possible to stop yourself from thinking that you can't do this, and to say positive thoughts out loud to yourself.
Step 5: Take your costume or favorite outfit to the store.
Pick out your outfit the night before so you don't have to worry about it.Pick something that you like and you will feel confident.If you have a costume, make sure that everything fits perfectly when you go into the fitting room, and don't be afraid to speak up if you feel that something is not right.
Step 6: Discuss your performance with your friends or fellow performers.
If anyone else is going on stage with you, they are also lacking confidence.It is normal to be nervous and sharing these feelings can help you realize that you are not alone.You can let a trusted friend or family member know how you are feeling, and they will most likely be excited to see you.
Step 7: There is plenty of rest.
You don't want to look tired.Allow for your best night's sleep the night before, whether it means going to bed early or listening to some calming music.This is important for dancers.Don't get carried away at your dress rehearsal.It's possible to get an injury if you come into a performance with your brain and muscles tired.
Step 8: Eye contact with people who are interested is important.
If you see people nodding in the crowd, don't be afraid to focus on them.This will remind you that you are doing a good job and people are interested in what you have to say.You can look for a trusted family member or friend if there is no nodding audience members.
Step 9: A confident posture is maintained.
Hunching forward makes you look less confident.Stand up straight and act like you are balancing a book on your head.You will make a good impression on the audience.
Step 10: Your voice should be clear and loud.
This doesn't mean you have to shout.If you are speaking loudly, everyone in the room will be able to hear it.In front of a group of friends, practice your public speaking or acting voice.
Step 11: Don't push the performance.
When you are on stage, time can be difficult.If you want to get used to the audience and your place on stage, make yourself start out slow.The audience may not understand you if you speak fast.It's important to keep a timer clock going as you perform to give you a better idea of how long time is actually taking.You can either keep it in your pocket or on your podium.If you feel like you might be rushing, pay attention to the music and make that a priority.All of your movements are determined by the music.
Step 12: If possible, have the audience laugh.
Ask questions, include facts they'll be interested in, and tell short stories relevant to the subject matter.Everyone will loosen up a bit as a result of this.
Step 13: The audience is leaving in a happy mood.
It is important to end the performance or discussion with a wow feeling.The audience will remember your amazing ending if you make a mistake but finish strong.If you end your speech with a question, the audience will think about it for a long time.It is possible to end with a call to action that reiterates why you are speaking in the first place.Dancers can act like they just gave the best performance in the world to end on a good note.Stand up straight with your shoulders back, and give the best finishing pose you can, no matter what happened in the performance.
