Performing on stage

[Rye]

just before i go onstage 2 do a performance i get so freaked out but when i'm up there if i think about the people in tha audince i screw it up but if i just do it it's no problem does that hapen to u Rye?

Yeah. The thing is, with me, as soon as I AM doing it, it's no problem. Especially if it's on stage with a giant audience with lots of lights because I can't even see them. It's just a giant blob that I'm performing to, which makes things easier.

I think its terrifying when you get on the stage yourself. I feel better if there is a light shining, so I can't see the audience, But if it's karoake and its with a bunch a friends be warned. You won't get the microphone back

I don't recall being especially nervous when I've performed on stage in the past, but that's because I've only been acting, and that sort of thing comes quite easily to me. If I were singing in front of an audience, I'm sure I'd be petrified, because I have no confidence in my singing voice at all.
