How was your 1st performance in public?
My first performance was beautiful, I was commended for performing well , though I was also extremely nervous, so I can say it also left me with mixed feelings, I felt happy that the audience was impressed, but I also knew from some certain remarks made afterwards that I had the capacity to do better next time.



How do you handle mistakes during a performance?
During a performance, there is a certain rule I following and that is, Handle mistakes with confidence, so when I flop I get back in track immediately, without letting the reaction of the audience affect me, and Usually, I go back and work on the mistake made, to ensure that It does not re-occur. Mind you it is natural for me to feel embarrassed by my mistakes on stage, but like I said earlier, confidence helps me overcome.
