When I get nervous, there's really only one surefire way to calm myself done. I have to go through stages, and they are as follows:
1. Initially nervous.
You feel the butterflies in your stomach, thoughts racing through your head, palms get all sweaty. Let it come. Just deal with it.
2. Calm/Chill Out Phase
Cozy up in a big sweat shirt. Breathe deep. Have a cup of tea. Think calming, reassuring thoughts. You can do this. You know you can. You are going to own this audition.
3. Get Pumped!
Once you are nice and calmed down mentally, and you just know you can do this, play your favorite song and dance. Get excited. Laugh, play, whatever, just get excited.
I usually go through these stages a couple times in order to get mentally prepared. You know you can do it, you just have to prove it to yourself. As far as last minute nerve-control goes; BREATHE. Take deep, slow breathes and then propel the air out through your lips, aiming at something like a window. Pretend to shoot the air straight through a window. Do this as many times as necessary to calm down.

You're welcome, and trust me, it really does work! I used this method just a few days ago at an audition, and I had one of the best auditions ever. I was really pleased with myself and my audition, and its all thanks to that method. Being in a good and soliud mental state is the most important tool. If you think you'll do well, you will.

Teehee, that's exactly how I am! I have a lot of great songs on my "Get Pumped!" Playlist (lol) that you would probably like. My favorite is "Change" by Taylor Swift, which is all about empowerment and overcoming unfavorable odds and finally getting what you've always wanted. Lovely! Anyway, break a leg, and let us know how it goes!
