Soliloquy Fright

Having to recite a soliloquy was pretty difficult for me, although I do not have a hard time memorizing the lines itself I just got flustered up in the front of the class. The minute right before I had gotten up and took the walk up to the front I had recited my soliloquy perfectly. Then when I got to the front of the class I looked out and started I felt weird. I mean I have acted a lot previous to this and I usually do not get stage fright. After I blurted out the first three lines the rest just escaped me. I stood so still as if Medusa had frozen me and said “shot its gone all gone.” I called for my first line and kept trucking along missing half lines there and botching words here. It was a train wreck. To top it all of I gave out a giant yawn right in the middle of my speech the crowd started laughing and I went back to my seat in shame. I have no clue what went wrong, though I think it was the pressure of getting graded that had gotten to me and I had just fallen short.
