What can I do to improve stage presence?

Stage Presence Problems?

  • Hey there. I play trombone, and I go to competition a few times every year where I play in front of a judge and get graded on my performance. I'm having problems presenting myself--right before I play, I get very nervous, I start shaking, and I always mess lots of things up. I know if I had more confidence or better stage presence, both the judge and I could take myself more seriously (plus I wouldn't mess up so much). If you have any suggestions on how to calm down nerves and have more stage presence that would be wonderful! Thank you! :)

  • Answer:

    I am more of an actress than a musician but I know that if you know the material very well it calms you down more, If you know it close to how you know your abc's and 123's, you feel a whole lot more confident about what you are doing. Once you know it well, when you walk on stage, or in your case in front of a judge, you're a lot more comforatable, relaxed, and ready. I don't know how well this will work for a musician but I hope it helps you some (:
