In this video
Hannah discusses tips and tricks for controlling nerves. Hannah explains techniques to try, which can help to harness nerves and turn them into a positive part of a performance.
Lesson aims
Understand nerves and how they can be used in a positive way
Consolidate techniques from previous lessons and your own experiences to combat nerves
Main points
Try breathing deeply and slowly and take in a big breath of fresh oxygen to release stress and nerves
If you feel physical nerves, such as knees trembling, turn that into a foot tap or a movement to use in our stage performance
If we adjust our gaze slightly above a crowd, not fixating on one area, it can help in appearing confident and ready for a great gig!
Be resilient and keep progressing by setting achievable goals for performances
