4.9-4.14英语训练总结

9.First, fessing up to the problem,the physical manifestation,how I would feel,how the listener might feel.And then accounting for things like my shaky voice,and I knew I would be singing about a half-octave higher than normal,because I was nervous.By having a song that explained what was happening to me.While it was happening,that gave the audience permisson to think about it.They didn't have to feel bad for me because I was nervous,they could experience that with me,and we were all one big happy,nervous,uncomfortable family.

10.By thinking about my audience,by embracing and exploiting my problem,I was able to take something that was blocking my progress,and turn it into something that was essential for my success.And having the stage fright song let me get past that biggest issue right in the beginning of a performance.And then I could move on,and play the rest of my songs with just a little bit more ease.And eventually,over time,I didn't have to play the stage fright song at all.Except for when I was really nervous,like now.Would it be okay if I played the stage fright song for you?Can I have a sip of water?

11.I'm not joking,you know,this stage fright is real.And if I'm up here trembling and singing. Well,you'll know how I feel.And the mistake I'd be making,the tremolo caused by my whole body shaking.As you sit here feeling embarrassed for me.Well,you don't have to be.And maybe I'll try to imagine you all without clothes.But singing in front of all naked strangers scares me more than anyone knows.
