I still get plenty of butterflies (sometimes they feel more like pelicans) rumbling around inside my stomache, but my golden rule is to be super prepared. I always turn up early for a venue, double check everything, my presentation has been rehearsed to some degree and I have made a point of connecting with few members of the audience. If it falls apart after that - well I just laugh out loud and do the best I can! Thanks again for your feedback.

I was cast as Moth. I think I played a pretty good moth as I stood there trembling with my head in my hand... struck dumb deaf and mute for most of my scenes! Definitely not an asset to the rest of the cast... but hey... it was an "unforgettable" experience! Fortunately I got over it and went on to bigger and better stage plays performances and recitals... but the "feeling" never left me. At 9 months pregnant I was still making speeches at the local (country) rostrum to the amusement of most of the male speakers... but hey... at last I had some weight to throw around! Not sure I could do it again now... but I very much admire those who can. Great article! My stage debut was at age 8 in the junior school production of Midsummer Night’s Dream. I was cast as Moth.
