Hello you lovely beings!!
So, if it wasn’t obvious from the everything about me, I’m a theatre kid. And when I met my theatre teacher a couple hours ago, he asked me to audition for varsity theatre!!! I’m like super excited, but I need a monologue. Any recommendations??
Also, anyone know how to not die of nervousness when performing something? Like I’ve been playing piano for yeaaarrrsss, but my hands still shake in front of people, which, as you can imagine, is very hindering for playing piano 
Anyway, have a lovely rest of your day!!

I’m not into theater but I get what you mean when you say you get nervous. I love singing and each time I get a little nervous before doing solos. Once I actually start though I feel a lot more confident. It does kinda help that I have been performing solos since I was in 2nd grade though

That’s so cool! I’m not much of a performer myself, but I totally know how you feel. Just try and remind yourself that you are amazing! And why you love what you do! Good luck

I don’t have any advice for the theater aspect, but I can try to give some tips on the other stuff. What I usually do for presentations is not think about why I’m practicing. Ignoring the fact that I’m anxious and stressed about it until I actually have to do it really helps me not overthink sometimes. And once you have the monologue down, try practicing in front of a family member or maybe a friend, then try in front of multiple family members/friends to prepare and kind of work your way up to other people.
