I had terrible stage fright for the first time when I had to do Bloody Mary in South Pacific - I am a mezzo, NOT an alto and the part was simply too low for me to do well. I was terrified whenever I had to sing, the beta blockers didn't help at all, as far as I could tell. By the way, I've done other parts, like Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, and had a ball, no problem, just fun. So sometimes the beta blockers do no good. >>
I've had a similar experience but I wonder - how much worse would it have been if I hadn't taken them?
I find that for me: opera/musical theater = no stage fright; oratorio/concert work = stage fright. So I need to pursue more of the former, even though the latter tend to be more lucrative.
