All you can really do is try to get over it!. Forget about everyone else and focus on yourself and the music!. Don't look anyone in the face, either, that'll bring you back to reality!. Look above their heads!. Apparently, people have confidence in you, otherwise they wouldn't have given you the solo, so go out there and do you best! You can do it if you really want to!. Forget about everyone and everything and just pour your heart and soul into the song!. Most important of all: have fun! You'll feel great when you finish your flawless show =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are many ways you could overcome this!. As an actor, I would say, "Try the '4th wall'"

The 4th wall is the mental wall that separates us performers from the audience!. Try imaging your somewhere, whether its the location of the character's song your singing, or your bedroom!. There is no audience!. You are by yourself!. Use your imagination , imagine hard that your not in the room!. Get really focused!. This is really an acting thing, but I'm sure you can do it!!! And always have confidence!. If you didn't deserve to be there, and you weren't going to do great, your teacher or director would have removed you!. You derserve to be on that stage on saturday!.

And if the 4th wall doesn't work for you, then just stick with the fact that you were CHOSEN to be there!. If you weren't the best person for the job, you wouldn't have the role!.

Good Luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

''Try to think of stage fright in a positive way!. Fear is your friend!. It makes your reflexes sharper!. It heightens your energy, adds a sparkle to your eye, and color to your cheeks!. When you are nervous about speaking you are more conscious of your posture and breathing!. With all those good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive!."
----Then sing to your mom!. If you can't, then you cant do it in front of people!. And stare at the clock and not in their faces!. Ask the light people to only put a little light on the others and dont put alot in yur face cause that will make you scared!.
