Question: How can you overcome stage fright & remember your lines!?
My friend, Stacy has stage fright, and she is doing a play this Friday for a performing arts camp, & she is really nervous about performing on stage!.
Do you guys have any advice for her!?
Just to tell you she is just saying lines, no singing or dancing!.
She is a storyteller in the Midsummer Night's Dream!.
Could you also give her advice how to remember her lines!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When she is looking over the script at her lines, tell her to make sure to look at the cues that other people give her for her lines!. It would be great if you could quiz her, you know like taking the script and having her recite from memory!. That helps me!.!.!. and as for stage fright, the audience is normally not visible because they are in the dark!. Once she actually gets on the stage it should be fine!. Tell her to break a leg!Www@QuestionHome@Com

my friend when you are at the stage remember that its all about you, whoever is in the audience is there to se you and nobody else, so do your best!!! Focus to a point ( any point ) at the back of the audience and just keep staring at it during your performance, you are going to be looking straight and nobody will guess that you are not actually making eye contact to anyone in particular, mainly because of the distance you are from the audience!. I hope it helps!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I guess I could just forgot the audience wasn't there & just concentrate on my lines & try my best!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
