Hi there, Julie.  And thanks for writing.  What state or province are you writing from?

Well, a few things could help you:
1.  Experience.
2.  When you are on stage, remembering to breathe deeply - The first thing to go is the breathing.  
3.  Taking acting workshops and courses.  
4.  More experience.
