Those nerves!!
CONTROL THOSE NERVES
You can never completely calm the nerves, even Michael Jackson opted out of performing on American Idol because of nerves. Yes, it can never be eliminated but we can put it under control to an extent.
Here are some of the oldest trick in the game is finding a focal: either a focal point, focal person, or property.
* A focal point is where the eyes will be fixed upon a point in the background, with them roving intermittently to give the impression of general eye communication. What this does is to help you avoid the soul of people(their eyes) peering into yours and breaking down any defence you have for performance.
* A focal person is when you have a friend or relative in the crowd and you fix your eyes on that one person you have faith in or from whom you can draw inspiration and confidence. You do not need friends who constantly make fun of your voice or of your person. The tendency to think they are making a joke out of your performance, is high.
* A focal property is like squeezing a ball or pin in your palm before or during performance, your energy is constantly controlled by that thing you hold. Each time the force of the crowd comes at you, you squeeze hard of the focal property, it puts the nerves in check.
Please note these are all control measures, nerves/stage fright, is hardly ever eliminated!

True. However, it is also applicable to the preacher. Thanks
