How to Overcome Stage Fright When Singing

[@justcallmeMariahhh]

every time I have to sing in front of someone I always feel like i’m about to cry 😞 it’s so frustrating because its holding me back from my dream but thank u sm for this video !

[@ignaciolynette]

[@aleigha_luvs_pink]

[@lexijade1317]

[@chaneldesiree8349]

[@cherylmarciante1848]

Same!

[@itsgenevababy]

"I'm a singer. I'm just going to sing now." Love this, thanks Betsy

[@lexijade1317]

I literally cry when about to go on stage. Even though i know nothing bad will happen i just get this pit in my stomach and start feeling sick. And it really sucks because i have a beautiful voice but stage fright holds me back from my dreams🥺

I sang all I ever wanted by Mariah Carey at my school talent show. The beginning of the song was easy to not be shaky because the notes are easy but when I sang the high notes I imagined being alone in my room with my eyes closed. Kinda felt relaxed towards the end.

That last one really hit me. I always assumed people came to see you be perfect, but it makes sense.. just, they want to experience it with you. Really helped me.

[@nataliepiche6997]

i’ve been singing in the car with my siblings and my cousins and no matter what they support me and it helps boost my confidence. :)

I've been dreaming since I was a kid to become a singer. I'm convinced I was born for this. But... I am TERRIFIED of singing in front of people. This has been my biggest phobia for years and now that I ended high school and that I can really start working on my dreams, I'm stuck. I don't know what to do. And I want to overcome this fear, or I'll be sad for the rest of my life. I can't imagine not realizing my dream, I just can't. I've spent all my life dreaming about it and now that I have the possibility to do it, I am paralyzed. Why does it have to be so hard?

[@yourrandominternettroll5311]

My best way to overcome stage fright in any way is by acting like I’m not scared

[@dayzarshole]

I can't even sing infront of my mom😭😂

[@zyritzislit6285]

i cant even sing in front of my whole family

[@ShivaRanjitham100]

Exactly!!!

[@anaids_beautyy6948]

I can’t sing with my family either I just feel judged and the thought of it makes me wanna cry

[@lowkeysam7332]

I literally zoned out until the part that she said "Don't wing it." Then I had flashbacks to my most recent audition when I did wing it and I was like Oop 👌

[@bradpittsoap09]

I’m going on America’s got talent one day because of this.

[@shawnakimber8028]

A :sigh: of relief! This a good reminder that everyone gets nervous. We're human :)

[@nittibit6662]

Focus on one person in the audience that you know. Tell them to to make a goofy face before hand so you'll smiling when singing. Most of your stage fright will go away instantly

[@AmaZaneChannel]

Loved the tips and advice! I will use this before my next performance 🔥 AMAZANE.

[@Marie-cb8pi]

When I sing, I shake like a leaf, my palms sweat, I’m out of breath and I just lose everything I prepared... 😭

[@taliahood9825]

I’m just scared to sing using my full voice when there are people in the house so I kind of just whisper :(

[@spaceartiste2496]

My problem is that I get extremely shaky legs, and that messes up my stance. It forces me to lock my knees and shift my weight to one leg, because it feels like I'm going to fall at any moment. And it's not anything conscious. I know for a fact that I am one of the best singers in the choir, and even as I am singing the solo, I can hear that my voice still sounds good. I know it sounds good when I sing, but for some goddamn reason, my legs just don't seem to get the message. It messes up my stance and my breathing, and it's so incredibly annoying standing there during my solo, knowing that if I could just get my legs under control, I'd be able to focus on the singing and make my performance a lot better.

[@annabananaseven7928]

My performance is tonight. Hope it works

[@yashiro3436]

How was it?

[@mushroomfrog6296]

I can't even sing in the shower because theirs people in my house and I get nervous

[@sophiatheegg1736]

this is so helpful, one time during an audition i missed a note and started CRYING DURING MY AUDITION and the music was still splaying and everything!!! ugh i still cringe

[@shawnakimber8028]

I drink lots of water and breathe deep between sips lol!

[@bath2134]

I can relate to jumping around...I do jumping jacks before playing guitar and singing. It really helps. I think performers come up with different personal rituals to help calm nerves. It's always cool to hear about the ways artists unnerve themselves.

[@lyl1nne]

I browse through the internet to find videos like this lol

[@donywilson6056]

Thank you so much! This video is priceless.

[@Shelbynotshorty]

Thank you I think this will help me a lot

[@EvrenUrMom]

i took notes. thank you

[@luckylaura12]

I have the shaky voice. I’ve tried millions of times, it just comes out shaky and I get frustrated and it just goes down hill from there. I’ve literally cried in front of a room full of people. It was my turn to perform, I started to play my intro in my song, then..... frozen. For me it’s debilitating.

[@aaronriddle1931]

thanks

[@geedeeweebee]

watching this because i just embarrassed myself and sang really bad in front of people🤪😍🤩

[@kathleenleonemakesmusic]

[@chrisklugh7498]

Thank you so much!!

[@averynicole9294]

I’ve been on stage my whole life dancing, and I love that... but in theatre I’ll try to sing in an audition for a musical and I never can do it. I get up there and feel ok then I just can’t get anything out of my mouth and it’s so frustrating

[@zyritzislit6285]

OMG TYSM

[@checo2835]

Wow.. Good job-

[@MsAngel-cb3wp]

I'm a transgender female who's biggest dream is to sing I have always sounded like a female when I sing but I can't seem to get past my stage fright but seeing this video changes that thank you Betsy ❤️

[@zazamammii]

[@markbarrett32]

[@jenlewis864]

Watch the video?

[@thefunnychannel366]

i borrowed my mom's phone and i have stage fright

[@R0Y4L_T]

Can I please brag for a sec? Ok, so I think I can confidently say that I have a better voice than most people my age, I’m very young. I’m not going to say HOW young, (for privacy reasons) but let’s just say elementary-middle school. But I have a bad stage fright, and it’s super annoying. I want to be able to show off my voice! But I caN’TTTTTTT It’s so irrational 😩
