Oh darling, don't worry. I'm in performing arts, (you know, 表演 and music,) so I've picked up some tricks. Remember, 你 don't have to do all of these, but they help. If 你 want, try them out, see which ones work for you.
Before 你 go on:
1) Get something to eat about an 小时 或者 so before 你 perform. It saps your energy if 你 perform on an empty stomach.
2) While standing, 交叉, 十字架 your ankles like you're about to turn around. 交叉, 十字架 your wrists. then turn them so your thumbs point to the ground. Interlock your fingers. Then twist your wrists inward so your knuckles rest against your chest. Close your eyes, and concentrate on nothing but keeping your balance. It may take a few tries at first, don't worry. Do this for 20 秒 to a minute. This exercise helps with calming nerves and concentration.
3) Before going on, shake your wrists out. This helps loosen your wrists up, which would be especially good for a guitarist.
4) While backstage, dance around like 你 don't have a care in the world. Smile while you're doing it, this is something 你 can really have fun with. This should help get nervous energy out and boost your confidence.
5) Before 你 go on stage, take a deep breath.
Onstage:
1) When 你 get onstage, start with a big smile. I don't know how, but this always helps.
2) While playing, don't think about the audience. Go through the performance just like another rehearsal. Take deep breaths if 你 start to feel anxious. Always remember to breathe.
3) Don't look down at the crowd. That'll just raise your nerves. Try to find a point to focus on in the back of the house (the part of the theatre the audience is in). That way 你 don't focus on the crowd, and 你 won't be blinded 由 the stage lights. If 你 want, 你 can always focus on your guitar, but if 你 keep your head up, that says "I feel confident!"
4) I doubt 你 would be playing in a band if 你 didn't 爱情 making music. This is something 你 love, enjoy it! Above all, have fun with this. It's your performance. If 你 have a solo, just rock out! Do not be afraid to dance. Again, smile. Laugh if 你 want. Focus on the music, 你 will feel great!
I hope this all helps, please tell me. As theatre people say, "Break a leg!" Have fun!
