Advice on “Confidence”
Hey all! So, I love karaoke and even though I’m someone with anxiety one of my favorite hobbies is main stage karaoke at my local dive bar.
I’m a good singer but the part I really struggle with is my anxiety/confidence/stage presence, whatever you want to call it. Even during my favorite songs that I know back to front. I’ve tried, and I’ve watched and admired people with great stage presence but I have no clue how to emulate it. I don’t want to swing in the opposite direction because it just wouldn’t be true to me, but I know it’s visible (I have known that it’s visible, but someone also mentioned it to me last night as feedback so now i Know it’s visible). I know it just comes naturally to some people, but surely there’s a way to learn it, my nervous system just won’t comply.
Has anyone else overcome this? Any tips?
