When I'm about to sing in front of people, my body feels...

Stuck or frozen, like I’ve gone a bit numb or have disconnected from my body

Jittery, wired, restless, like I want to escape or fast-forward through the whole thing

Tense and braced, like I’m “holding it together” or ready for battle

When I sing in front of others, my voice is...

Small and hidden away, like I can't project and it's locked inside

Breathless or shaky, like I can't catch up with myself

Tight or tense - like I’m pushing or trying too hard

In a performance my energy is...

Zoned out or like a deer in headlights - I feel disconnected or like I’m watching myself from the outside

Over-revved and panicky - everything feels sped up and I can’t seem to slow down

Intense and under pressure - I’m gripping the performance too tightly, like I’m fighting to “nail it”

My mind is saying...

“I can’t feel or control anything… I don’t even know what I’m doing up here.”

"I'm too shaky and I'm going to screw this up. I wish it would hurry up and be over."

"You'd better make this impressive. You have to prove yourself. Try harder!"

Before a performance I tend to...

Go blank, forget lyrics, stare into space

Rehearse obsessively, pace, fixate on details, struggle to be still

Put a lot of pressure on myself, try to control every detail, overthink

When I look at the audience...

I want to disappear or hide, eye contact feels terrifying

I’m scanning for danger or disapproval, I feel exposed

I feel defensive or desperate, like I have to “win them over”
