STAGE FRIGHT

(VANN DUKE AND SAMMY AUTOBIOGRAPHY) "STAGE FRIGHT"
I was nervous on stage sometimes because of my negative thinking.sometimes a hour before my show or a day before my show I may have a argument with my spouse,I may have car trouble on the way to the show.I remember my first show,a family member that gave me transportation to my show slammed my first sammy on the hood of the car,sammy was not damaged by the slamming,so I had a good show.I practice a lot with sammy because sometimes stage fright can make you for get your lines.another thing to remember about being nervous on stage is that those people out in the audience came to see you do a show,they want entertainment.I remember when I was doing the comedy clubs,before going on stage I would drink redbull and coffee shots because I wanted to be running on all cylinders,I wanted my mind and body to be sharp.staying away or hiding until it's time for you to go on stage is good also,it help you concentrate with out any distractions.it's natural to be nervous on stage,when I first started as a ventriloquist sometimes I was so nervous sammy head would be shaking from my hand but being a ventriloquist I could get it under control by working the stage fright into my act.

_____(TIPS TO HELP WITH STAGE FRIGHT)_____
here are some tips I used myself performing live on stage to help me with stage fright...

1. sammy and I wore dark sunglasses, making them part of our clothing out....
*********
2. Invite a friend or family member to sit in front row seat so you can perform for them only, meaning your attention will be on your friend and family and not the audience of strangers...
**********
3. have a small amount of beer or wine before going on stage,just a little.
