Continuing my series on PREPARING for PERFORMANCE, I am dealing with Performance Nerves for the next 2 weeks.
1. Performance brings the fruit of learning & practice before an audience & is an intensive experience demanding concentration & sheer NERVE!
2. A Performance carries with it elements of stress and fear which can either undermine the performance, or lift it to a new level.
3. A Singer should accept that a performance is a stressful experience, and understand what happens to the singing voice when under stress.
4. Nervousness & Fear are strong emotions generating a lot of energy, which can easily cause constriction due to an increased flow of adrenaline.
5. NERVES can cause the Larynx to shut down! The breath flow is then restricted & the false vocal folds clamp down, causing constriction.
