Question

How can I overcome my fear of singing a solo in front of my friends?

Community Answer

Try recording yourself singing and send it to them. They will hear you sing for the first time and you won't see their faces. After the first song is out of the way, you may be free of your fear.

Don't think too much about it. Try to perform in smaller audiences and increase the size every performance.

Question

I am in my school choir and have a solo for our concert, but I always picture worst case scenarios (messing up, forgetting words, tripping as I walk, etc.). What can I do to stop this?

Community Answer

Instead of imagining the bad things, imagine good things: people clapping and smiling, being told you did a great job, that feeling you'll have when you walk off stage and know that it's over. Every time you start to have a bad thought, replace it with a good one.

Question

My school is doing Aladdin Jr. for the musical, and I got Jasmine. There is one part where I have to sing a solo. My face gets red and I stop, though I am fine with a duet. How do I keep my face from getting red?

Community Answer

Don't focus too much on it, as that will just make it worse. Chances are, the audience won't even notice. You may find helpful tips in wikiHow to Avoid Blushing and Cope with Blushing .

Question

How do I overcome the fear of people laughing at me?

Community Answer

You just have to be confident in yourself and realize that while it might hurt, people laughing at you doesn't ultimately harm you. So if it does happen, just ignore them and detach yourself from their criticism. A true friend will support you no matter what, so surround yourself with supportive and loving individuals, but the most important thing is to find confidence in yourself.

Question

What if my voice breaks whilst singing?

Community Answer

Keep a steady stream of air, and breathe in through your nose deeply for two or three seconds before opening your mouth. Keep a controlled tone. This was exactly my fear when I sang a solo in a choir concert. After I was done I was afraid my voice cracked, but when I heard the audio it sounded fine. What you imagine in your head is always worse than the reality!

Question

My Mum, Dad and the rest of my family all say that they love hearing me sing but I get nervous when asked to sing or when people tell me that they heard me. How can I try getting over this fear?

Community Answer

I've had the same fear for years. What has helped me the most, however, is the support of my family as well as getting into singing groups such as glee club. Singing with other people (especially friends) will definitely help you break out of your shell. Another great factor is just going for it, so have the courage to try!

Question

My grandma is coming to visit soon. I wrote a song to sing to her, but I'm nervous that my voice will crack, or that I will forget the words. What do I do?

Community Answer

Practice on the words before you go to bed and take deep breaths before you sing to calm yourself down.

Question

Imagining the audience in their underwear is weird and uncomfortable. What other options are there?

Community Answer

Take a deep breath and stare at the back of the room, behind the audience. Focus your vision on something that won't move. Try and remove everyone else from your vision, so you feel like you are singing to yourself. If that does not work, imagine that the audience is someone you are comfortable singing in front of, and it might help you get rid of your nervousness.
