    ''Mrs Balor, they're just human beings, I very well know that, but some audience face expression is enough to make you go nuts!"

       "I'm coming to that, Audrey, thank you' Mrs Balor said. "Two..." Mrs Balor faced the board again. "... When you walk up to the stage..." She said, uncapping her marker. "... Don't let the audience face expression discourage you." She wrote and faced the class, raising a brow at Audrey.

       "You own your voice. You are your own boss. Don't let their face expressions get to you, because if you do, you'll literarily sink, which is going to be very bad." Mrs Balor cringed.

         Zoe raised her hand.

    "Zoe?" Mrs Balor called, as Zoe stood with her so perfect smile that she vainly loved to show to everyone.

      "When I'm on stage, I don't focus on the audience faces at first. I just focus on an inanimate object at the end of the hall or I just imagine I'm alone..." She paused and stood more confidently. "...when I keep on singing, and I start getting response from the audience, I start glancing at their faces while I enjoy the moment, because it's my moment..." Mrs Balor nodded impressively. "...like when it's a fast beat song, and I start  receiving this strong vibe from the audience, I enjoy the moment and return the vibe." Zoe rounded up with a grin as she blinked earnestly.

     "Exactly!" Mrs Balor smiled, impressed. "Anytime you're on stage, it's your moment, you either enjoy it or let it pass you by."

         Andy, a cute boy in senior raised his hand.

     "Andy?" Mrs Balor called, and Andy stood shaking a few strands of his long blonde hair away from his face.

      "A year ago, I went to perform for a group of people while I was on a vacation in Russia. I  started singing and playing my guitar, the people didn't cracked a smile from the beginning to the end of the performance-"

          "Ouch!" Zoe interrupted.

    "-but I was given a thunderous round of applause at the end. I thought I didn't perform really well, until I was paid a great amount of money more than what I bargained for, and an elderly woman walked to me and told me my performance was incredible, I'm just glad I didn't let their face expression get to me." Andy rounded up.

       "I think I heard Russia is filled with a lot of grumpy faces." Audrey said.

        "Russia is a very tough country, and I think most of them feel you should keep your smiles for your loved ones." Mrs Balor added as Andy sat. "But they're very friendly if you get to know them. Just like Andy said, they gave him more than what he bargained for. They believe in being strictly reserved."

       "Fair." Zoe said.

       "Alright, class, Three; the audience look up to you, so be bold..." She wrote on the board and faced the class. She scanned the class for any raised hand. "To be an incredible, amazing and successful singer or performer, you should possess confidence." she faced the board. "... Four; look for opportunities to sing publicly." She wrote.
         She faced the class. "...when you do this, you'll develop the experience of facing an audience. For those of you who do go to church, you can join the choir, you can even choose to audition for those that'll be singing on Christmas eve party. Just look for opportunities around you and show your best...five; if you're tensed or nervous when you want to face an audience, you can do a simple breathing exercise. You can try breathing in and out deeply and slowly severally. Encourage yourself with words of encouragement like "I can do this", "I'm amazing" and all, you understand right?" She received positive nods in response.
