The basis of the whole problem is, of course, what happens to your
breathing when you are nervous. It is useful and interesting merely to take
note of what you experience, eg check where the breath seems to be coming
from at times when you are singing well or weakly. You will find that it
feels higher in the body when you are not singing so well. Just notice
where it is located and that will help to lower it and to relax the
mechanism into better coordination. Becoming used to relaxed breathing is
the first step to taking control of a performance.
