Stage fright is not something I have ever really had to deal with. In high school singing solos would sometimes make me a little nervous right before, but as soon as I started it would all dissipate and get easy. Slam poetry is just a very different story. I start shaking when I think about it. With roughly 24 hours before our first scored slam I am all ready feeling like I could puke and am shaking. I have only practiced in front of my television, and let me tell you a muted Paula Deen makes for a mighty kind audience (she is so smiley!). I am pretty convinced that all of the people that walked past my apartment think I am a raving crazy lady also...oops. Anyway. OBSERVATION: Stage fright is the worst. Ever.
you'll do wonderful lovie!!
