hey guys,
since I've seen MonkeyDAthos' post about forgetting the songs before going on stage, i thought that this would be a great opportunity of sharing your experiences and advices regarding battling and of course, conquering stage fright.
I was once told by a friend - totally monstrous guitarist and musician, that our time on stage is our own personal private festival, and the people in the audience are our guests - how do you enjoy your festival? By sitting like a trembling chicken not being able to utter a faint smile? Or by being generous to the people who came to celebrate with you?
It made wonders for me that night (it was my first time alongside a symphonic orchestra back in 2008 and I was so nervous that I was barely able to hold my pick between my fingers)
Since then, I'm trying to be a "better host" at my festival each time
How do you fare with stage fright?
