    I think eventually most people grow out of it. You get used to being infront of the stage and it shouldn't bother you any more. For me as the Lead guitarist and vocalist for a band usally the first 2 solos I play suck compared to what I can really play. It takes me about 2 songs to get comfortable

    Go to a hypnotist. That is the only way it would work for me. It is not that expensive, and if you really have a problem with stage fright, you will be over it.

    Practice a lot! If you know you're good and you're confident in what you're doing, you'll be great! And don't think about the audience and whether they're liking you or not. You just think about yourself and focus on what you have to do. Having a nervous stomach or getting that butterfly feeling before a performance is completely normal, even for pros. In fact, if you don't feel that before a performance, you're probably overconfident and you'll probably end up messing up since you're overconfident that you'll do great. That's what my drama teacher is always telling us!

    breathe, breathe, breathe - slowly - count to 8 as you breathe in then out

    also, preparation is the best way to avoid stage fright. You are less afraid if you are prepared.

    Get used to performing in front of people. Perform in front of a few different people to get used to the feel of it. Deep breaths. Take a vitamin b-12 pill a few hours before your concert. It is for circulatory and nervous system and will make you less anxious.

    I guess just practice,

    start off slowly like in front of one friend or family member

    then one or two people

    or just rehearse onstage!
