Re: Panic Mode

Me, I sweat copiously in a humid setting... and when I’m taking down/setting up.  Even in the studio here!  I always need for the stuff to work just right, and it gives me the willies during setup for obvious reasons.  I had to start wearing a bandanna in LA when doing setup, so I wouldn’t drip all over my equipment... Somehow I don’t think that’s going away anytime soon, especially since I haven’t played live in a while.  And then I saw Lee Evans’ standup routine, and his sweating puts me to absolute shame.  Watch HIM: and this guy’s really successful, too!

re-framing stage fright as stage energy.
 
I had a drama coach who told me once, when I was quaking with the jitters, that those butterflies in my stomach were proof that some kind of talent was inside me trying to get out.

I really like the idea of re-framing stage fright as stage energy.  That works wonders for me. 

As with so many things, the transitional stages are always the most fraught.  But if you keep the perspective that those spaces are in the midst of changing and will be different once you get on stage (or wherever) I think its a lot easier to weather them successfully.
