... of the different types.
Mine is, though I've worked on and off with this...
I can do fine. I want to go. I should go. Hey, I know what I'll say. I have it picked out. I can go. I'm going. I'm going. I can do better. I'm going to be picked. Yay! Picked.

Something like that. So prepared, have it rehearsed, confident, even cocky, and then go on stage, heart is racing, no words left. Nothing. I can't even remember what I said two seconds ago. All my words are completely lost and where I'm usually thinking of 3-4 options off stage, on stage I have only one... and I think that one must be wrong.
I used to also get that white noise and detachment effect too.
I envy the people who have their minds racing during the performance too.
I don't freeze so much with say, notecards or a teleprompter, but sometimes I don't have that option.
Flatline, empty, nothing.
How do you get past that?
Also, I've heard of the other manifestations too.... anyone want to share and share how they got past it? Or do you just cope?
