Derek Long
Actor/Instructor

It's normal to feel stage fright. The actor is outnumbered by the audience. There is a feeling of 'me versus them'. It's vulnerability, and, ironically, it's a big part of what the audience wants to see. The key is to find a way to come to terms with vulnerability and work with it instead of fighting it.
