One of the things I now need to confront in myself as an actor/performer is my stage fright/hyperhidrosis. In short, sometimes when I get anxious or nervous I sweat. Sometimes I sweat profusely. This is of course very embarassing and hindering as an actor. I have learned to work through it, but I know it is holding me back. I always feel bad for all of my female partners who have had to be very close to me in scenes where I am sweating. So now I am searching for ways to cure me of this problem: beta blockers, counseling, meditation, I don’t know which one will help the most but I ned to figure it out.
