I’m Michael Bradt for The Bit Theater. I can’t count how many times I’ve performed, and I still get a little nervous every time I take the stage. It’s okay to be nervous, no matter how much experience you have. In fact, it might be beneficial. That nervous energy can give you an edge and make you more alert than you otherwise might be onstage. If you find yourself getting nervous prior to a show, don’t double down on it by panicking. Accept the nervousness and make it work for you. That’s your improv tip for the day. Stay safe and stay healthy, and I will see you next time.
