Ah yes! Indeed it is a familiar feeling. So this pep talk is as much to myself as it is to you.
- Live performance means that there will be mistakes. - It is not possible to learn anything without making mistakes. If you are not making any, you're not learning. - Identify a few things that could be done differently (just a few as you cannot fix everything at once). - Ask for gentle, objective feedback or suggestions. - Once you've done these last two, forgive yourself. You'll do better next time. - Hopefully, you can look forward the next gig and I wish you that it goes well and make you feel good.
