I don't really get audition anxiety, but I do have other worries, like I won't get a part and I will mess up.

Yes, for the musical in the spring.
How do you prep for try-outs?
I am taking voice lessons and studying the musical.
Do you get nervous or are you always confident?
I get really nervous, lol.
Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies?
I usually just talk to my parent or friends. They calm me down.
What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did?
I'm sorry. And then I don't bring it up again.
How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble?
I just keep going pretending I didn't fumble. Confidence is key!

Are you trying out for anything this school year?
school play and soccer
How do you prep for try-outs? i usually just talk to my friends. i really don't have any tips for prepping up for something i do

Do you get nervous or are you always confident? i try to be both. but most of the time i'm nervous. but if i am nervous, i start warming up to the background and people around me and i'm more confident in myself

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies? Praying works. Seriously. I did this one play at my old school and i was the lead role and i was really really nervous but i prayed and i actually calmed down more and more each time i prayed to Jesus

What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did? to pray. it always works if you put ur Faith in Jesus

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble? i sing. or listen to my lullaby "Miserable At Best" its a song by Mayday Parade (noone else can steal my lullaby!)

How do you prep for try-outs?

Do you get nervous or are you always confident?
I do get nervous sometimes... I always feel stupid when I first get n stage, but When the music starts I just block everything but the beat out, and I start rockin out!

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies?
Find one person, like a mom or close friend, and JUST focuse on them, NEVER worry about messing up, and have a little comforting routine that you could use the night before.
What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did?
Say "Sorry, I was really looking forward to both of us being together. You should try something different."
How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble?
LAUGH!!!

Are you tying out for anything this school year?
Yes, Talent Show.

How do you prep for tryouts?
I will usually gather a group of close friends and have them bring a friend that they don't know me and we perform, get their ideas because I know that they aren't all going to be like "Its Awesome!" like my friends would because they don't want me to feel bad.

Do you get nervous or are you always confident for tryouts?
Usually nervous.

Do you have any fool-proof tips to calm the butterflies? Smile, Talk with Friends, Don't eat ANYTHING greasy the night before or the day of. Get sleep, keep your mind off being nervous.
MAKE SURE YOU SMILE! Everyone likes a happy person more than a negative person, and if they show they are happy and confident and serious about the part/position it increases their chances!

What do you say to a friend who didn't make the cut and you did?
"Listen, _______, I am really sorry you didn't make the cut, we tried out together for fun though, I'd still like to do it. We can get you into _________ (list something else sport/play similar) or you can try out for a different part or different posistion.

Are you trying out for anything this school year?
im trying out fr cheerleading and im doing track (track doesnt make cuts)

Do you get nervous or are you always confident?
sometimes i will be super nervous but i never let anyone see that because if you keep saying im nervous then youll pshyc yourself out but if you seem calm then the peple around you will calm down and you will be calmer too

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies?
try to seem confident cause if you can make yurself believe it then you can have others believe it too but if you keep saying tha your bad then youll be bad
What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did?
i make up a list of reasons why not being on the team is good for them. like if they have ther things that owuld interfer or if it isnt relly fit for them

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble?
i just laugh it off. like when i was auditioning for the schl talent show with my friends i was doing the dance moves and i hit the door and it made a loud noise and i gave a half laugh and smiled at the teachers and just kept singing

fired up on 10/1/2009 10:23:25 PM

Are you trying out for anything this school year? Already made the school play baby!

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble? I tell myself the same thing I'd tell a friend. (See above.)

I MADE MY VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS "CHEER"

keko101 on 8/31/2009 8:02:21 PM

Are you trying out for anything this school year? Well, I'm not sure right now. I might try out for club volleyball, considering if I improve enough from doing clinics and practicing. I might also run for student council. For both of them, I'm not exactly sure! lol

How do you prep for try-outs? From the times I've tried out or ran for things in the past, I always used to get really nervous. I practiced what I was going to do to try out -- practice your speech, your skill, or your lines until you feel really comfortable with them.

Do you get nervous or are you always confident? I definitely get nervous! It's never good to get really overconfident, like if you keep telling everyone that you're going to win or make it. I've seen how doing that can really make everything harder. But it's important to have confidence in yourself too.

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies? Well, I just focus on practicing what I'm going to do, and when I'm really sure of what I'm going to do, I'm not as nervous. Also, it's sort of comforting to know that everyone else who's trying out is just as nervous as you are. If THEY can do it, so can you!

What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did? Well I would let her be upset for a while before talking about your win. Say that she is really talented and that you really wanted her to make it so you could have done it together. Say that she could always try to go out for something else, or practice a lot for next time around. Try to build up her confidence by complimenting her, so she knows she's still awesome!

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble? I just let myself know that even though it didn't work out one time, I'm not a failure. If anything, you're anything BUT a failure if you don't make it. You had the courage to try out.

ShopperSoccerGurl on 8/24/2009 8:20:17 PM

Are you trying out for anything this school year? drama club, and track :]

How do you prep for try-outs? ummm....practice??

Do you get nervous or are you always confident? it depends, if i practiced, and i have pressure, i'd be more confident

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies? noooo....

What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did? i've never had that happen, but i guess i'd not really talk about it, and just dro it

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble? pretend like it never happened, and pull myself together

bluegreeneyegurl<333 on 8/23/2009 12:51:14 PM

Are you trying out for anything this school year? soccer, basketball, and volleyball Smile

How do you prep for try-outs? practice with friends!

Do you get nervous or are you always confident? in between

Do you have any fool-proofs tips to clam the butterflies? move! do jumping jacks, jogging in place-anything that'll get ur mind off being nervous

What do you say to a friend who didn’t make the cut when you did? first off, dont brag or anything and I'd say "sorry u didnt make it, im really mad becus I wanted us to be on the same team. i think u should try out for something else"

How do you pick yourself back up again after a fumble?
