Oh, as an amateur musician... I've always found that the best performances I've done were when I enjoyed myself and didn't actually try to please anybody other than myself.... Let the music lead you , man! GL HF! | ||

Just enjoy the show, dont worry about fkn up, and if u do, just laugh it off. You receive the energy you show on stage back to you, so if you are tense, the environment will feel tense. Try to relax with respiration techniques and remember: KICK ASS and have fun! | ||

As long as you're confident, and you get over the initial OMGGGG!!! you'll calm down, and realize how much you're having and how awesome you're doing, and it'll all come naturally! When I do public speaking, as much as I love it, it is nerve racking. So once I start, i'm shakey. But, once I get going, and realize how awesome what i'm saying is, it's easy, and I love it. Just gotta chill! ^_~ | ||

Just remember to have fun and you'll be good :D This, I was in quite a few bands when I was younger as a front man. The first few shows I did I was extremely nervous, but after you get into the song and let it hit you that you're just out there having fun you'll calm down. | ||

It gets better with time. Try to look more at the people then at your instrument, smile a lot, if you fuck up it's like Starcraft, at least you learn something new. The reaction from the people is the thing that matters the most. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/columns/the_guide_to/shows_how_to_make_one_night_successful.html Where do you play at, i might be nearby? | ||

Getting slightly drunk should help with the nerves best advise i can give, sadly ^_________^ If you are the drummer, i highly recommend you NOT doing this, since drinking alcohol slows your blood flow, and after a while you wrists,arms and feet dont respond well. Trust me, this is not the way you should go | ||

Getting slightly drunk should help with the nerves best advise i can give, sadly ^_________^ Alternatively, a lot of musicians use Beta Blockers to control stage fright. I have pretty severe stage fright in certain circumstances and can say from limited first-hand experience that it works very well at controlling physical symptoms such as shakiness. It's not a sedative, though. Pros? It won't make you drowsy or harm your performance. Cons? It won't directly alter your psychological state, but I find that just knowing that I won't experience the physical stuff makes me much more confident mentally. | ||
