P

We
?
ve
all
been
there
.
You
?
ve
practised
a
thousand
times
.
You
know
your
and
you
know
how
to
say
them
.
Yet
when
the
time
comes
to
perform
,
your
legs
turn
to
jelly
and
you
just
want
to
hide
in
the
corner
.
Stage
affects
even
the
most
experienced
performers
,
and
can
make
or
break
anyone
just
starting
out
.
So
,
how
do
we
with
it
?
I
?
m
Pauline
Hazany
and
this
week
I
interviewed
a
few
well
-
known
performers
to
find
out
.
First
up
is
professional
musician
,
Katherine
Sherrell
,
who
I
up
with
backstage
on
the
first
night
of
her
UK
tour
.
P
:
Katherine
,
you
used
to
get
pretty
bad
fright
,
didn
?
t
you
?
K
:
Yeah
,
I
did
,
for
years
.
Every
time
I
had
to
go
on
stage
,
I
could
stand
up
I
was
shaking
so
much
.
I
just
got
so
nervous
.
It
was
awful
.
And
my
time
on
stage
seemed
to
go
on
forever
!
P
:
So
,
what
happened
?
Did
things
just
improve
the
more
you
performed
?
K
:
Well
,
sort
of
.
It
was
a
couple
of
things
,
really
.
Firstly
,
I
told
a
friend
,
a
fellow
musician
,
about
my
nerves
,
and
he
said
something
surprising
.
He
said
,
it
?
s
not
about
you
;
it
?
s
about
the
music
.
He
also
told
me
to
stop
worrying
about
the
audience
.
You
know
,
they
want
a
great
night
out
;
they
?
ve
paid
for
their
tickets
and
they
?
re
on
my
.
From
that
moment
,
I
had
a
different
approach
;
I
was
calmer
and
more
relaxed
.
And
it
?
s
served
me
well
ever
since
.
P
:
Sounds
like
good
advice
.
Have
you
up
any
more
tips
that
could
help
our
listeners
?
K
:
Something
else
I
do
is
focus
on
my
,
how
I
stand
and
even
how
I
walk
on
stage
before
the
starts
.
I
remember
I
?
ve
been
doing
this
for
years
and
I
imagine
I
?
m
ten
feet
tall
and
that
nothing
can
stop
me

The
second
person
I
spoke
to
was
Rufus
Gerrard
,
a
stage
actor
who
?
s
played
all
kinds
of
roles
from
Hamlet
to
Frodo
in
the
theatre
version
of
The
Lord
of
the
Rings
.
I
caught
with
Rufus
during
a
for
his
new
play
,
Arthur
Miller
?
s
The
Crucible
.
P
:
Rufus
,
hi
.
R
:
Hi
,
Pauline
.
P
:
Tell
us
about
stage
fright
.
R
:
It
?
s
a
real
problem
,
even
for
actors
.
You
feel
as
if
you
?
re
going
to
die
fright
.
It
can
hit
you
at
any
time
and
you
have
to
find
a
way
to
it
.
P
:
So
how
do
you
with
it
?
R
:
In
my
case
,
I
learnt
quite
early
on
in
my
career
that
what
I
needed
to
do
was
prepare
both
physically
and
.
So
,
physically
I
started
doing
stretching
exercises
for
about
fifteen
minutes
before
every
performance
.
And
mentally
I
started
using
.
Basically
,
I
?
d
imagine
myself
not
in
front
of
a
big
,
scary
audience
,
but
in
front
of
my
friends
and
family
,
people
who
?
d
me
all
my
life
,
and
I
?
d
see
them
smiling
and
clapping
.
I
also
tried
to
myself
and
my
ego
,
so
I
was
no
longer
Rufus
Gerrard
acting
in
front
of
an
audience
,
but
I
was
the
character
in
the
play
.
It
?
s
the
character
that
?
s
important
,
not
me
.
P
:
And
it
worked
?
R
:
Yeah
,
it
made
all

P

My
last
interview
was
with
motivational
speaker
,
Mahmoud
Jalil
.
Mahmoud
regularly
gives
presentations
to
hundreds
of
people
around
the
world
,
so
he
knows
a
thing
or
two
about
how
to
stay
cool
under
.
I
met
up
with
him
in
a
café
a
couple
of
hours
before
he
was
due
on
stage
.
So
,
you
?
re
on
pretty
soon
,
aren
?
t
you
,
Mahmoud
?
M
:
Er
,
yeah
.
I
?
ve
got
about
an
hour
or
so
before
I
need
to
get
ready
.
P
:
So
,
how
are
you
feeling
?
Getting
nervous
yet
?
M
:
Haha
!
Not
really
.
I
used
to
get
nervous
before
giving
my
talks
though
.
I
mean
like
a
total
.
P
:
So
what
changed
?
M
:
Well
,
it
was
the
build
-
up
that
scared
me
.
I
used
to
spend
hours
going
over
the
performance
in
my
head
.
Was
everyone
going
to
like
it
?
Would
I
forget
what
to
say
?
Every
time
I
had
to
go
on
stage
,
it
was
like
the
day
of
my
life
!
And
then
one
day
I
made
a
decision
to
just
stop
so
much
.
I
said
to
myself
?
what
?
s
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen
?
That
I
forget
what
I
?
m
trying
to
say
?
Or
the
technology
breaks
down
?
But
if
that
happens
,
how
much
does
it
?
Will
it
be
the
end
of
the
world
if
I
get
lost
and
have
to
read
my
?
The
answer
was
no
.
And
that
was
how
it
all
changed
for
me
.
I
mean
,
it
was
so
.
P
:
So
you
just
needed
a
change
of
?
M
:
Basically
,
yeah
.
What
worked
for
me
was
the
presentation
differently
.
I
still
get
nervous
,
but
I
don
?
t
spend
hours
and
hours
preparing
and
all
the
worst
things
that
can
happen
.
Now
it
?
s
under
.
