Dont lock your knees, Drink lots of water prior to performing, make sure you get enough breath, if you feel yourself starting to get faint wiggle your toes in your shoe it keeps the blood flowing to your legs!.
Other than that people usually have nerve problems in front of audiences!. with time you'll get over those!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i sing too, and i guess im lucky because i dont really get stage fright, not badly at least!. a friend of mine used to faint too, but after a while of performing in front of her peers, she got her nerves out!.
here's the thing, for most people it is harder to perform in front of classmates, so i suggest practicing!. start small!. sing some thing for like 5 of your classmates, then move up to 10, then 15, and so on!. i think that would really help!. i know its not easy, cuz even professionals get nervous!. it takes guts, and going out there shows you have them!. now all you need is some confidence!. just think, they're not here to judge you, they are here to support you!!!
and also dont lock your knees my teacher says that can make you faintWww@QuestionHome@Com

Just focus on the words!. I was in choir since I was in 5th grade, and whenever I had a solo, I just wanted to have a good time!. I'm really not the best singer, but enthusiasm covers for that!. Or if those don't help, just try and picture the audience in their underwear!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
