Pray for peace of mind and stillness within. Go in confident, think of all you know you do well. I wish u the best!

listen to music
=] good luck =]

Drink cold water, deep breathing.

Just relax. I know it's overused advice, but it works! Put on some calm music, take a nap, or whatever. Practice your piece of it helps you. Do whatever it takes to chill! Best of luck!!!

visulisation i've heard is a goodun...

listen to music... that usually calms me down

good luck tonight =)

breathe in and out

start drinking

just relax and think on the positive side, go do something active to release some of the stress

chew gum ....i had 1 last year and it didnt completly work but it really helped!!

i totally no wat u mean
try like stretching or yoga
u just have to do something that will take ur mind off it
stressing about it only makes it worse
just chill and try to relax
=P

Pretend there is no one in the place u are preforming at. Think of ur fave dessert while u are preforming. also think of what want to happen and it might happen!

Relax and take it easy get some fresh air don't think alot

Just be your self. I know most people just say because they have nothing else to say.. but im serious. Im 16... not a role model.. but seriously.. nothing to stress about. xD

just remember no one cares if u mess up
so try to believe in urself!good luck

slow breathing + dancing to your fav song ( dance like Napoleon Dynamite)

This is what everyone will say...but picture everyone in their underwear..OR just think about something else, or something your looking forward to?

Just think about me.

take some advil it will ease any pressure on the brain and stop any head aches and take a few moments to pray

goodluck
; D




*you cant do any better than your best!!!*

Pretend like you are just in your room practicing, and whipe your hands before you play, because one time I was soo nervous that my left hand slipped because I was sweatting and it made a Horible sound!

Hope I Helped

if your nervous you will flunk. just be confident and do your best, when your nervous about things you worry to much about how your doing and do bad.

just remember that it really isnt that important and you will have many chances if it doesnt turn out well.... and remember to have fun even with auditions.

breath in and breath out you will be find take a quick nap and calm down

Just don't worry.... BE HAPPY!
Really, if you worry too much, then it'll just make your audition WORSE, keep that in mind. And it's not like if you fail, you will DIE! You'll always have another chance, and probably laugh about it in the end.

This is a tough question if you are nervous as to when you feel you will pass out i would suggest you don't participate it could be a very embarrasing night....

when i tried out for the school plays, i did things that would keep me focused, like running through my lines every so often. if you're really nervouse, maybe take a bath ith lavender bubble bath, or some other scent that relaxes you, as long as you have practiced, you'll be great!!!!

good luck!

Don't think about it, just have fun! I was in a talent show at school , and I thought I'd never be able to sing, but I did it, and everyone loved it. Don't think about your audience, just your words. Pretend your making a music video, or that your alone in your room or something. Don't stress.

Dont be nervous! If you've been doing fine all along, no need to think of this as any different, just think of it as another practise, not an audition. Also, just be yourself and do what you do best! Most important, be VERY confident, assure yourself you'll do fine, and if you freak out, just know that at least I, (some random stranger), thinks you'll do perfect! I've been in your situation, just relax! Hope this helps : ) (Breathe in... breathe out... breathe in... breathe out...)

Close your eyes, take long slow deep breaths through your nose and exhale slowly through you nose as well. That will slow down your heart, lower your blood pressure and help you relax.

You'll be fine, just relax.

Don't be nervous, I use to be in orchestra back in elementary, I played the violen. I would play in front of a crowd of over 100 people. The key is to concentrate on your music and no one else. But if you find yourself in a hard position to follow that, look at all the people in the audience. And imagine them only wearing there underwear, that'll make you forget about being nervous and put a smile on your face. Trust me, it'll work :)

sing the happy song :-))))))))))))))))))))) and pik me as best answer!
