Everytime I finish a performance my knees are
shaking, even after nine and a half years!
I just concentrate on my performance and deal
with the nerves later.
I know this does not help alot!
It is my Scarlett O'Hara philosophy; "I'll cry
tomorrow." (Back of hand to forehead, best
southern accent)!
Seriously, practice, practice, practice! Do it in
private, do it with friends, relatives, anyone
you can get to listen. My daughter was my best
audience until she became a teenager!
