    Alcohol before an audition?! I was planning on drinking after the audition, since I'm going to a party with fellow classics geeks after my audition.

    It's going to be a long night.

    One of my high school teachers had a very simple and somewhat silly method for calming nerves. What you do is close your eyes and take deep breaths in through the nose while visualizing yourself breathing through the soles of your feet and filling the body upwards towards the head. It sounds really dumb but I still use this method over a decade later.

    Anyway, I am sure that you will do fine Laiwethel.

    Also... just keep in mind the dancing bananas. That'll keep the nerves at bay.

    Sure the dancing bananas will keep the nerves at bay but I really don't think that replacing them with a case of the giggles is a good trade-off.

    Ah, the bananas. A whole new hell.

    Laiwethel - control your breathing, probably breathe through the diaphagm. If you know anything like Tai Chi, some calming exercises would be good.

    Other than that, don't fix on whatever's worrying you. Go in, do what you need to do.

    Good luck.

    [​IMG] @ Splunge - My feet usually do and it still seems to work just fine. In fact, even wearing an old pair of stinky gym sneakers doesn't appear to hinder the results. :p

    Well.... sure, the dancing bananas can cause a giggle fit... but then you just have to exchange them for these: :rolling: :spin: :roll:

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm sure at least a couple of them will help out.

    *hugs everyone who suggested something*

    Okay, less than four hours to get myself under control. I can do this.

    Of course you can.

    BTW, I just tried out JSBB's idea, and it actually worked - smelly feet and all. And being in my office, I'm not exactly in the perfect relaxing environment.

    Good luck! :)
