Nervousness. The word that most people really don’t want to hear. Especially when they are doing something really important like doing a play or the original nervousness magnet, the thing that you end up biting your nails until they are up to the nub of your finger for. What is it? You guessed it. Talent Night. Yes, Talent night, the thing that some people work months for until they think it’s perfect but by the time their on stage. BOOM! It ends up so bad that it seems like all they did was lay down and sleep during the practice time that they had and probably only dreamed of what they were going to and never bothered to practice it. And when you up on stage it leads to- Nervousness. There is a girl who is an excellent singer and has the best voice that anybody’s ears would stick up to. I don’t really know her life story except for the fact that she went on American Idol and auditioned with the song ‘‘Because of You’’ You couldn’t tell the nervousness that she must have felt. But she did it. Now she has these really good songs that are probably #1 on the charts( I kind of forgot, but I like them a lot). Her songs are called "Tattoo", and ‘‘One Step at a Time’’ and I assure you that she will probably be doing more. Did you guess who she is yet? You got it. Jordin Sparks. As you can see, not all people show nervousness when they have it, like how Jordin Sparks might have covered it up, or maybe she didn’t feel any nervousness at all. Well, you never know. But you see, know matter who you are nervousness doesn’t have to mask you up that well. And here are some tips to help you do just that:

• When you are up on stage at your talent show (the number 1 nervousness attracter) try to take a deep breath. At least some of the nervousness is gone.
• DO NOT IMAGINE THE AUDIENCE IN THEIR UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!! That will just make you even more nervous because you might imagine them with their faces totally red with embarrassment and embarrassment leads to nervousness and that nervousness will add on to the nervousness that you already have.
• Ask for help. You could ask your best friend or just some really close friends for help. You could try practicing in front of them and they could give you tips to help you improve what your doing and that would help you for when your time comes. Trust me, I’ve done it before and I was Great. I’m not trying to brag but that was what the judges thought!

So next time nervousness gets a hold of you, think of al the celebs who have gone through nervousness and also try these tips. It would seem like you were never nervous at all.
