I'm performing in front of my school tomorrow (I'm singing and playing piano) and I'm a little nervous.
Does anyone have any pre-performance rituals that help you relax, like for example, some people pray.
If you could tell me what you do, or what other people do that would be great :)
Thanks in advance :)
 
This may sound stupid but in my theater class, of all of the relaxation techniques we did, this worked best for me. Lay on your back and with as little energy as possible roll to one side on you shoulder. After that roll back and let gravity pull you back to your back. Then go to the other side and do the same thing. Repeat. The point is to use as little energy as possible and just lazily roll. I don't know why it works but it does relax me.
 
i am a part time birthday clown, and before every show i realize the one truth- "f- them, i am not getting paid enough." i have no one to impress, i am sharing something, not promoting or selling something. i would also have a cigar, a glass of rum and curse and rant my head off if i felt nervous. not a single kid left without a smile.
