If we didn't get those butterflys in our stomach before showtime, then that means that something is missing, because sometimes we need that extra bit of anxiety to perform at our best. Its just important to learn how to control our nerves, and its safe to say that we all have our methods. Some of us get totally wasted before shows, or just create alittle buzz, but alcohol has never really been a part of my plan, (perhaps after the show,) but when I'm on stage I need my faculties. Personlly, I always just tried keep a good conversation going before the show, it helps keep your mind string, and your confidence at a high level. So once you get out on stage, it can be the most natural experience.
