Overcome Stage Fright

I've been performing in bands for decades (guitar), but I've often suffered from debilitating stage fright. At times my hands would shake so much I could barely play. I'm now playing solo performances and in a duo, usually in smaller venues. And I'm singing, which is a new facet to performing that I've always enjoyed, but now it's just another thing to cause me anxiety.

I recently had a solo performance on a professional stage in a 500+ seat theater and it was causing me a lot of anxiety in the weeks leading up to the performance. I'd done some hypnosis years ago with mixed results but ran across this site and decided to give the "Stage Fright" recording a try.

I got to go through the program six or so times before my performance (the app is great, by the way). Here's my take on these recordings (I ended up purchasing a few more). If you can find 20 minutes to sit in a peaceful location in comfort, and if you can focus and allow yourself to relax, you will find some benefit from these programs.

I would consider myself to be more of a skeptic than a "true believer", but I'm open to anything. What I've found is that this program allows me to relax and receive positive reinforcement and to visualize the mindset of being "calm & relaxed". Is self hypnosis a magic thing that will transform your life? I don't know, that's up to you. I think if you can keep an open mind and at the very least understand that some quiet, focused meditation featuring positive messages isn't going to hurt you, then you will likely find some benefit.

I find the process enjoyable, and 20 minutes really flies by. It doesn't feel like a chore or a long time at all.

My performance took place, and I was able to close my eyes and focus myself a few minutes before I went on, just reminding myself to stay calm and relaxed. It was a success! I was not completely without nerves, but my anxiousness was geared more toward performing - I was excited to express myself and show the audience what I was capable of. I feel really good about what I did - it was maybe 75% of what I'd hoped for, but I mean that in a very positive way. Overall I was happy with my performance. I would say it was a landmark for me - absolutely it was. I've never performed for that many people before as a solo artist. It felt good and liberating - and I was able to show myself that I was capable of doing it! I feel so unburdened, it's amazing.

I credit this program with allowing me to relax, stay positive and change my mindset (which tends to focus on self-criticism and self-doubt). I will continue to use this recording, and others. I'm a believer. It's an enjoyable process and I feel like I've gotten the results I was hoping for.

I have been a professional actor for over thirty years. Recently, when, touring in a big show I completely lost my nerve in the wings and going on was terrifying. I was so afraid to step from the dark into the light. After using "Over Come Stage Fright" just a couple of times my nerves subsided and I felt in control again on stage. Thank you so much. Will recommend to everyone.

I bought your hypnosis CD for stage fright because during my last recital I felt inhibited by nerves. It has been very effective, so thank you. I shall be ordering more of your products in the near future.

My brother and I love to sing but used to get very nervous in front of people, despite being very sociable. We've both been listening to your hypnosis recordings, particularly 'Overcome Stage Fright'. I think it's great. It's mine and my brothers favourite. We both feel much more confident about performing and I wanted to drop you a quick thank you note. When we get our first proper gig we'll send you an invite!

I have been using the 'overcoming stage fright' hypnosis session for a few weeks, and after 15 years of being a musician and backing vocalist, I sang lead vocals on a couple of songs in front of a live audience for the first time this weekend, something I have been to terrified to do before. I can't thank you enough, and will recommend hypnoshop to everyone I meet. Thanks again.
