Every performing musician that I know has dealt with stage fright. How each one dealt with it, including myself was a personal Journey, but there are a few Universal truths when it comes to stage fright IMHO.

The first is stage fright creates tension and where there’s tension it's almost impossible to breathe diaphragmatically. And if you can't breathe correctly you just can't sing at your best. I also feel that improper breathing effects how we play.

Another truth is, I know I State the obvious when I say this but stage fright is all about fear, fear of rejection fear of being judged unworthy ....Etc


I think the best therapy is force yourself to do it, week after week month after month year after year. Just keep playing, breathe and deal with your fear head-on


All the best on your journey
