Brooke's SOHH chapter 13 Summary- Nerves can affect a performance pretty dramatically if we as the performer let them. Pretty much everyone suffers from nerves. We get symptoms such as dry mouth, the shakes, nauseous etc. We though can trick our bodies into giving us our desired physical symptoms.
Key Concepts- stage fright needs to be confronted,
Key Terms- physical symptoms, stage fright.
Connections- I am one who definitely suffers from stage fright. My hands go cold I get light headed and my legs shake. As I feel it coming on my body tightens up including my neck and shoulders which as we all know is not good for your voice. I tried to think of questions I could ask myself like the author did for others. For my cold hand, I could say something like "just get colder I dare you" so on and so forth. I realized as I was coming up with these questions in my head I felt a sense of empowerment. Something along the lines of courage even :) it was a new feeling.
