Hey guys, i sang at my first big show yesterday, and man that's a day i shall never forget.. i had butterflies in my stomach all morning thinking that i was gonna suck bigtime or that i would go off key of something, but once i went up on stage, i felt such a powerful rush of adrenaline, it was mindblowing.. and i rocked da show!!! that felt amazing.. i cant help but remember the first time i sang on stage way back in school, then i started off key and made a complete fool out of myself, the entire audience present laughed like crazy coz i sounded so bad then, since then i lost confidence in myself to sing on stage,and i used to get jittery at the very thought of singing in front of people.. but i decided to overcome my fears n it turned out to be an amazing show..i now have a new confidence in myself and im going to sing more and more without fear.. Do you remember the first time you ever sang on stage?? tell me your experiences..

ya i remember it .it wasnt a professional function, but it was a church competition n i had to face a hundred peoplewhen i was 14.my whole body was shivering and i was sweating.but the result came good.i won the competition,judges commented that i had a good classical tone that made my voice special,but i think it was due to the shivering.

Yes, the first time I sang solo was almost two years ago. It was great. I was a lot less nervous than I thought I would be. I'm performing solo this Tuesday for the first time in a year. Eek.
