3.\u00a0 Practice making big, whole-body gestures<\/a><\/strong> during rehearsal and just before I go on.\u00a0 This helps me break through the physical tension and “holding” that may constrict my expressiveness.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Memorize the beginning and the ending.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Remind myself that I am a pretty good showman when I make up my mind to be one.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Remind myself that the audience wants to be entertained, even if they’re at a funeral.<\/p>\n

That’s the first half dozen.\u00a0\u00a0I welcome your home remedies, and any research that you\u00a0know of.\u00a0 Let’s build a stockpile\u00a0of cures that lead to courage, presence, and expressiveness.<\/p>\n
