The ONLY way to develop performance confidence is by actually performing. The MORE you do it, the more confidence you build, and the easier (more comfortable) it becomes. That simple. I recommend woodshedding (starting out) by booking REGULARLY scheduled performances (weekly or more) at a small casual club, and/or a community/senior center establishment in your area where performance demands are not as high. Once you build your repetoire & performance skills, and attract an audience following, you can then seek larger rooms in which you can assure the potential new club owner of a sizeable dedicated audience following that will come to his club to see you. - Scott
