    Performing in any capacity is 100% fake it till you make it. People always ask how you can get up and play music or even speak in front of an audience. The secret behind confidence is that it’s all a lie. As long s people believe you have it, then you have it.

    First bunch of times, it’s difficult to pretend, but pretty quickly, you’ll forget you ever had to pretend in the first place.

      I was listening to comedians talking on a podcast recently where they agreed that confidence was the biggest boon for them. If you’re not confident, the audience can feel it.
