Stage fright.?

Question:

Stage fright.?

Please help! I know I have a good voice, people who I am comfortable with have told me. But in our choir, try-outs always scare me and most of the time my voice does not come out the way I want (all tight and not beautiful). How do I overcome this? Please help

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You need to practice getting nervous. You do this by finding other people to hear you sing. Get your family and friends in a room, sing in a church in from of people, etc. Just as your singing is a skill that has to be practices, so does the art of performance.
