If an instructor would ask me to get up and do a skit I would

feel nervous also. I am more comfortable when I am in

character and then I naturally do silly things or do a

skit. I dont feel the pressure. You sould very similiar to me.

If you ever want to chat let me know. For me I had a lot going for

me except my "nerves" kept getting in the way. I tried to go to

as many birthday parties as I could to help other clowns. I went to

face painting events and asked if I could give it a try. Only

after doing so many events did I start to feel comfortable. Believe

me it wasnt right away. I am still new so the nerves creep up

here and there but it is much better.

Take care. Darsee
