Nerves to Focus

“My hands shake, my mouth dries and my mind goes blank.”

What happens to the body under stage fright and practical routines that turn the adrenaline into focus — before, during and after.

What you will be able to do

  1. Steady your breath and hands before you start

  2. Recover from a blank without the audience noticing

  3. Build a routine that lowers the nerves each time
