Bards - Re: Stage Fright

>From Lucais who thought of something more regarding stage fright.

Much stage fright comes from not knowing your material well enough to have confidence.  KNOW YOUR PIECE!  The better you know your piece the more you can focus on interaction with the audience and the quality of the performance rather than worrying if you'll forget the words.

Practice it over and over.  Do it fast and slow it down.  Practice it with an Elmer Fudd accent.  Recite the lyrics of songs as though they were poems.  Drill yourself on the words so you know them well.  Then during the performance you can really focus on delivering the piece.
