M's New Daily Celeb Advice Column!

allison:jen lowery:startraks.jpgHey M Girls!

We have a BRAND NEW celeb advice column on mmm-mag.com. Each day at 8:00 PM/EST we'll post a reader question and have a different star answer it!! Today, we have Allison Iraheta talking getting over stage fright!

M Reader ILuvMusic asked:
I'm a really nervous and shy girl but I love to sing. I just can't perform in front of people. I got a new guitar a few months ago but barely play it in front of my parents. I want to be able to perform in front of my friends and family because I love to sing. How can I get over my shyness?

And Allison's answer is:
"Just go for it and have fun! I mean, obviously you're going to be nervous but you can take that nervousness and use it to help give you a boost! That's what I use my fright for. You'll be scared but once you're up there it's not so bad. I try to totally black everything out when I'm on stage and just have fun!"

Don't forget to check back here tomorrow for more celeb advice. And if
you've got a question you want a star's help with click here to submit it!

I am shy to sing in front of people too. But when I start the song I love it. I was scared too, but I went for it and now I have a solo in the school Disney Show.

thats soo sweet that she gives adive to fans! :)

Whenever someone asks me to sing for them I always freeze because I don't know if I sound good. How can I get over that??

Hey chicks watzup

Thank you so much Allison! I'll definatley try to have more fun when they ask me to sing, and i'll try using my nervousness for boosts! Thanks again, I've been wanting my comment to be picked, but I waited patiently cause I knew they would pick me later.

Supposedly my 'bff' says that we were going to go see New Moon on friday together-the day it comes out. But yesterday she canceled on me out of the blue. I'm really mad at her and she's not even considered my bff anymore because bff's don't do that. So any advice?
THANKS!

And if you can, can u get either taylor lautner, miley cyrus, or kristen stewart to answer my question?

My question wasnt exactly like the one on here though :) I think they added and took out some words out of my question lol

I got some advice:
When performing start small like infront of a group of stuffed animals! It might seem stupid but this is what I did when I was overcoming my shyness. Then if you have a family pet, perform infront of it. It should slowly help. Again, it seems stupid, but it helped me BIG TIME with my shyness in singing!! And my last concert I got a solo!! Just imagine what your missing when you're so busy being shy!! You can do SO much!! This is what I say A LOT: if you love it, do it!
meaning if you love singing, sing as much as possible! I know I love singing and I'm ALWAYS singing!! I hope that I helped :)

You know JustinBluvr4evea that sounds like a good idea! Thanks!
