Episode notes
In this podcast, Dominic Ferris and Ugne Peistaraite talk discuss Performance Anxiety and Emotional Intelligence. They talk through such topics as: the importance of practising performing, how to deal with audience distractions mid-performance (such as a phone ringing), looking at anxiety as something positive (rather than negative), how to learn from mistakes in performance and focusing on being in the moment and not the anxiety beforehand.
And who knew there were similarities between giving a piano performance, performing surgery and flying a plane? All is revealed.
