Stage Fright stops many a performer!. There are many suggestions running from picturing your audience in their underwear to eating a certain fruit!.
I have found a method that worked wonders for me and I have taught others to use it with great success!.
Focus on the performance!. You concentrate on each tone, where the melody is going!. If your mind is on giving the best performance and if you are into the piece, you will not be thinking about the audience!. Not only does it eliminate your stage fright, you become a better performer!. It will take a little practice, but usually works pretty quickly!.
Good Luck

Practice, practice, practice! :-) If you want to sing professionally you have to train your voice and keep practicing!. More than likely when you're singing in front of people you become nervous which will cause problems with your breathing which then causes problems with your singing!. The best way to get over this is gain more confidence in your voice!. I suggest you try to take voice lessons!. It would be better to have an actual voice teacher in front of you!. If you don't think your parents will take you seriously tell them you're trying to be more well rounded!. However, if you can't get them to agree try to video!. I haven't heard of it so I don't have much info about it!. Good luck and keep singing!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hiya!. I had a book once called, "Born to sing"!. I don't remember who wrote it but I'm sure google will tell you!.
Anyway, when my parents found out that I wanted to sing and not go to university or settle down and get a real job they were pretty gutted to say the least and did not encourage me in the slightest!. I went on to sing with lots of different bands and have even done Solo cabaret in large venues!. In fact I'm singing tonight, just in a hotel, but the pay is very good considering!.
The point I'm trying to make is if you genuinely KNOW deep inside that you are good enough then do not let anyone put you off a singing career!. I can assure you, life will be an amazing adventure!.
Hope this helps!.
Best of luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
