I am a first time actress and have been a very shy girl for most of my life. I have my drama performance soon and need some help for fears Please

BE your role. Don't think, not even for a moment, that you are pagganap as someone else. You have to believe that you are your role and set your mind and body free to do whatever they want without fearing that you are going to seem rediculus. In the end it's just a role but this, you only think when your performance is finished.
Hope you understand my english and you find what I sinabi usefull. :)

Hi! I know what you mean; I'm extremely, painfully shy most of the time, and yet I pag-ibig acting. Just remember; when you get on stage, you're not being yourself, you're portraying another person, a character. pagganap is like storytelling.

Before you get onstage, take some deep breaths, and focus yourself. Try to pretend that the audience isn't there; it's just you and whoever else is onstage with you, or if nobody is onstage with you, it's just you. Try not to break the fourth wall, which means looks slightly above the audience and don't ever look at the audience (unless you were told sa pamamagitan ng your director to do so).

But as a very shy girl myself, I must say that pagganap is so much easier than you might think. It's a trillion times easier than public speaking and it's easier than talking to people that you don't know well. Just be confident in yourself, and focus on your character and on the scene instead of the audience.

Don't worry! You'll do great! :D
