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