I'm fucking nervous^2

[EviLudy]

That's right. In half an hour I have to be at the theatre. I'm playing the second male lead in a play and this is our 5th show. Now I didn't get nervous ever since the opening night of a play I was in 2 years ago.

Why am I nervous as shit?
1. It's a big theatre. And it's sold out. But I've done that before.
2. There are a dozen of my closest friends coming, waaay more than usual.
3. There is a professional team using 7 camera's making our tv/dvd recording.

Newgrounds, how do I stop being nervous?

Close your eyes, picture a nice sunset (or anything you like) and breath slowly...
or listen to music you enjoy... ?

This will sound really wrong but have a wank, it takes your mind off being nervous and makes you alot more confident. Trust me..

Oh, hamburgers.

Imagine everyone naked?

Just realize that nobody really cares, if you make a mistake they won't mind. Don't make a big deal out of anything that happens, just go and perform and you'll be fine and have a great time.

Newgrounds response: Kill yourself.

masturbate right before the show it should clear your head
clears mine

[Mechabloby]

What are you doing a show for? Can you post it on youtube for us, after? =)

Also, take deep breaths, keep your head between your legs and count to ten and shake all your joints. Make them loose.

It works with me. =)

[Rideo]

Just blank out the audience and act like you're just doing it for fun.

[Duffi]

You're going to be nervous all the way to the stage. It's good for you. Just remember the awesome feeling as you entertain the massive crowd.

Ride with your fear.

Blow on your thumb. Theres a gland there. Regulate. Heartbeat. Sentences.

Imagine that you'll die some day, so it won't matter if you fuck up anyway.
