Session Description
Freeze to Freedom: Ending the Cycle of Performance Anxiety is a masterclass on why musicians and performers freeze, blank, and lose access to music they know cold, and how to break that cycle for good. Dr. Jaclyn Normandie (CEO SoundLab, DMA) and Dr. Erica Kane (MD, Cardiothoracic and General Anesthesiology, Mount Sinai) team up to translate the real science of the nervous system and the vagus nerve into tools any performer can use before they ever set foot on stage.
We Will Discuss
- Why the nervous system freezes under pressure, and what that does to memory, focus, and performance in the moment.
- What your ideal state for learning, memorization, and growth actually looks like, and why calm alone is not the answer.
- How the vagus nerve physically connects your nervous system to your voice, breath, and stage presence.
- Simple, science-backed exercises to regulate your nervous system before you perform, so you can walk on stage steady and present.
