to answer a question...

How does one overcome stage fright or being nervous during a performance?

Almost all singers get nervous at some point and time...but of course in varying degrees.

I sometimes get a bit nervous if I feel unprepared or if I have had insufficient time to rehearse.

Don't think too much...a person performs best in the most natural state and condition.

Try not to worry about making a mistake or hitting a bad note...because if you worry about it you probably will.

Bear in mind a singing contest is not the most important thing..the point is to enjoy and to have fun.

Try not to pre-plan too many things and moves that you think you need to show people...just do them.

Just relax : )

Goodnight
