HOW TO HANDLE BEING NERVOUS BEFORE A PERFORMANCE. ⁣ ⁣ Okay, so the other day I got a message about what to do, if feeling nervous before a recording. ⁣ ⁣ A recording can be many different things: a podcast recording, video, production, online live courses/sessions or so on - so I thought that would be a great topic to bring up and cover for this evening. ⁣ ⁣ This is a picture from a shooting at Mallorca, some years ago, but I still remember the excitement that arises before shooting for big clients, and therefore I find the emotional reaction exactly the same; whether it’s a recording or a photoshoot, like here. ⁣ ⁣ After 15 years in front of a camera (in different fields) I’ve learned a thing or to about how to handle the emotions and not letting them destroy your performance. ⁣ ⁣ 1. Make peace with your feelings by accepting them ⁣ ⁣ 2. Know that all feelings rises and passes ⁣ ⁣ 3. Be prepared as good as you can⁣ ⁣ 4. Do your best ⁣ ⁣ 5. Show up and give it your all ⁣ ⁣ 6. Dive into it ASAP and kick ass, instead of holding yourself back or waiting for your body to relax naturally. Sometimes I really find that you have to: ⁣ ⁣ 7. Fake it until you make it ⁣ ⁣ Good luck! xx J ⁣ ⁣ ** DM/EMAIL me if you need help with making your dreams come true. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ @xxjasminsoe / www.xxjasminsoe.com
