“Let the beauty we love be what we do.“ Rumi
Jann Arden has it so does Barbara Streisand and Canadian superstar Shania Twain.
What is it they have? Performance Anxiety, or some call it Stage Fright.
Just what would we learn if we really got close to this energy? If we began to understand it and make it friend, rather than foe.
Do you feel excited to perform and to do your thing and then have it be
highjacked by anxiety and fear?
Do you feel that you have no control over this from happening to you?
Do you feel okay onstage but you just can’t seem to perform at your best?

Questions I hear from my clients…
I become quite anxious before I perform is this normal?
A little bit of anxiety and excitement is normal and expected before you perform and put yourself ‘out there’, however when the anxiety feels like it might take away from your performance then it can become a problem. Do you always become anxious? Or is it just now and then?
Is there a way to break this anxiety and calm down?
Yes. I like to help artists break this cycle by using and working with an image of the audience before they get close to the stage. Follow this process:
Imagine the audience in front of you right now.
Notice what you see in front of you.
How close are they to you?
How does it make you feel?
Really slow it down and work with your seeing and then the feelings that arise from the image.
Now here’s the really big step. What is it that you want to have happen with the audience?
You can invite them to either – move back or forward in your psyche.
Or you can change the energy of the audience by having them smile or stand up and cheer when you walk on the stage.
Really keep it slow and try not to control this action but allow a greater part of you to operate the scene for you.
What do you see?
What do you feel?
When you get it the way you want it in your seeing and your feeling then sing a song or a few words to feel this imprinting in your solar plexus power centre.
Let your nervous system memorize this new pathway for you.
Repeat this process over and over before you actually step on the stage.

Can you help me to understand what is really going on ‘backstage’ so I can perform at my best?
Yes I can, and it’s different for everyone. Some people take longer than others to really be able to ‘face’ their audience and ‘hold their own’. That’s okay, this is a process of developing a sense of compassion and understanding for what is really going on inside of you.
Strength and Vulnerability….
Being a performer and ‘holding your own’ takes developing your core Self and finding a sense of stability and inner self-worth (aka confidence). Vulnerability is important for a performer to have access to for the emotion to be present in the song, however when vulnerability is the only state present then it becomes unsafe for the performer and anxiety can creep in.
I like to think that vulnerability and strength are partners on a teeter totter for the performer to move back and forth between.
I work with people to find their authentic core with the process above first. Then we can begin to strengthen the body’s energy to be in support of the singer or performer and not against it.
“WOW, WOW, WOW – that is all I can say. What a priviledge to experience a master at work.
Anna is deeply able to see exactly what each participant needs and masterfully opened up a door for us to all move through.
Run don’t walk to anything she has to offer. Thank you Anna I am very blessed to have found you at a time in my life when I am so deeply seeking to open my voice to express truly what is resonating so strongly inside of me.
I know we have more work to do!! And I am allowing the excitement of that to build.”
