New York Acting School Can Help You Get Rid of Stage Fright! Here's How!

If you struggle with stage fright, it can feel very limiting to your career. The New York Acting School for Film and Television understands and knows it's very common - which is why we've come prepared! We have many classes available to you in New York City, that will help you overcome the anxiety and fear that comes with getting in front of the camera. We help you get rid of stage fright quickly, by making sure you are in front of the camera during every class. This method has been very useful to our students. 

But in the meantime, here are a couple of extra tips to help you get rid of stage fright:

Keep getting on stage. Keep getting behind the camera.  Second, is to deal with the fear of rejection you are holding deep inside.  Now, don't be embarrassed or frustrated about that. We all carry that weakness around with us in some way or another. In fact, some very successful actors have a strong fear of rejection. It's what they do with it that matters most.  It's a large force of energy.  How can you use it to your favor?

Set time aside to visualize the performance. Close your eyes and get into an emotional space of excitement.  Draw up a memory where you felt overjoyed, excited and proud. Allow that to overcome you as you emotionally relive the experience. Now see your self walking up to that stage or to the camera and think of how fun your job is. (visualize how easy it is to focus on your breath)  See the other actors responding readily to your character. See the audience in silent anticipation of your presence.  They came to experience you.  Just them sitting there, waiting, is a gift to you and their way of saying 'thank you' for sharing your talent of story telling. 

The strongest action you can take is to direct your focus away from the negative feelings and instead, focus it on the talent you have and how to better it. Acting classes are here available precisely that reason! They give you a safe environment to practice your craft.   So, don't worry.  Take action.  Start with visualizing the excitement and then move deeper into your talent. At the New York Acting School for Film and Television, we are here to guide you through it.
