Challenging Fears – This Was Scary:
Posted on 24. Jul, 2009 by Per Bristow in Performance, Singing
I can't believe I did this. It's crazy really. It's the ultimate fear for some and extremely fun for others. I also wanted to make this video to make a bigger point. Check it out for yourself:
So what was the point of this video? Let's look at a couple of important issues:
1) Become aware. There is no way we are going to overcome fears unless we become aware of them. Unfortunately, we tend to avoid that four letter word and instead cleverly disguise it with more pleasant sounding words. So what is one of the most important keys to grow, develop and succeed?
Yes, the magic key is awareness. As you may know, much of my teaching is about developing greater awareness of body and mind. When you become aware it is far easier to do something about it, and therefore improve significantly.
2) Just do it. When you are facing something uncomfortable, realize that "just do it" is a very good piece of advice. It's more than a cute marketing slogan for sports shoes.
3) What happens when you "just do it"? When you are afraid, your body will tense up. Your breathing becomes shallow. The whole body goes into a fight or flight state of emergency. Your mind races, anticipating the future. (Fear is always about a perceived future). Most people will exit the situation without a clue of what actually happened in their body.
For many this is going on daily, although on a more subtle level. And every day these subconscious fears are holding you back.
As I was heading up the tower, my goal was to be aware of the fear. As I noticed it, I was immediately able to relax my body. Many times during the ascent I tensed up, but since I was aware I was again able to relax.
Realize though that there is no way you are going to be able to relax if you don't know what relaxation feels like. If you don’t know how to put your body in a resourceful state when you aren’t under stress, how are you going to do it under stress?
If, for example, you are not able to relax muscles in a comfortable range when you sing, how do you think you are going to be able to relax on high notes? If you are not able to release a free, powerful, confident sound when you practice, how do you think you will be able to do it during performance?
This is why you want to develop an extraordinary awareness during practice. As you do, you develop rapidly. You learn to coach yourself to perform well under any pressured circumstance.
Also realize that greater awareness of self leads to greater awareness of others – i.e. you become a better performer.
4) Challenge yourself. Remember that it is always easier to NOT do something than to do.
P.S. I later went on the smaller free fall that I showed you earlier in the video. This time I was able to relax even better (everything is easier the second time, isn't it?). Frankly, I felt so relaxed that I thoroughly enjoyed the view and experienced no fear at all. It was quite phenomenal. I am so glad I did it.
So go ahead. Challenge yourself! Take action! Do it! Then share your experience below.

Hi Per,
hope you enjoyed your holiday. very well done for facing your fear, we all have them and the key is not to let them rule our lives.
on the singing front, when i recently started singing, i sang bits of songs when out and about doing verious thing with friends and familly, which was scarry at first but then something magical happened and i started to relax some.
now, i dont think about it too much and can sing in front of almost anyone without worrying too much.
keep up the good work, missed your e-mails.
P.S. i once was mailed a video of you singing which was helpful, can you do a couple more to show off your talent.

Hi Per , thankyou for thinking of your students on your family vacation ,I commend your effots of feel the fear and do it anyway , ! Im still trying to overcome the tension and holding when I sing , even in practise , but Im a great believer in success depends on where intention lies , so if your intent is honourable , to strive to grow and change ,and to do so with non judgement and self criticisim then I guess you cant fail , however Im finding the road long and winding and dreaming of a free and powerful voice with quaity at the end of the rainbow , see you in August , Warmest Regards Wendy James Australia .

Hi Per…I get giddy riding on a carpet down a slope ! that’s enough for me. But I know about fears and those I have, and I know fears can tighten the voice. But interestingly, singing to create a 2nd part or to teach a tune is no problem, even though soloing can be.
I sing in the car to a CD accompaniment because I’m shy someone might hear me in my home ! Isn’t that silly ?! Still, I love to sing and do. But I could probably do better. When I have more time free, I will probably connect with you.
Do you and your family sing together ? It’s a great enrichment to do that.

Per, I too ahve a very real fear of heigts, so I know how hard it is to do what you did. In fact, we have a similar ride at our local amusement park and i have not yet been able to ride it. I like how you correlated it to singing. I have had fear performing in front of people, but it is nothing compared to my fear of that ride. Conquering fear always makes you a more confident person. Even if you conquer a fear in one aspect of your life, it will help you get over other fears you have. Thanks for pointing this out and with this video, I think you have helped people not only with singing, but their lives as well. Thanks from all of us, Matt

A good teacher always looks for an opportunity to convey a message or teach a lesson. Thanks for using your holiday to keep us informed. I guess we all have our issues. I love scary rides, as a matter of fact, the scarier the better. However, lately the thought of getting up in front of people again has really paralyzed me. I’m going to have to take this and run with it. Enjoy the the rest of your holiday. Peter

This guy is a windbag and a bore and completely in love with himself and his platitudes. If he can take 200 words to say something when it only needs 20 words he will take the full 200.

I’ve been on a similar ride but not so high as that and I found, guess what, if you scream for all your worth it raises your diaphragm and stops that awful painful feeling. Everyone around me on fairground rides think I scream now because I’m scared. Well, maybe I am but I scream on rides because it physically makes the ride bearable and fun. So, using your voice can quite literally get you through anything.

Hi! I live in stockholm myself, and I´ve been to gröna lund several times. I´ve also went on “fritt fall” or “free fall” several times. It´s quite scary but also fun. It´s when you go up your the most scared, when you wait for it to go down. Your brave that dared to do that!

Hi Per
Thanks for sharing with us on during your holiday time! I am also on holiday…in Ireland at the moment. Prior to making our way here we went to visit a daughter in Brighton and I (who hates nearly all fair ground rides) was persuaded to go on the waltzer with my daughter. It started off fun but went on for such a long time and got faster and faster until I really felt physically sick by the end of it. It confirmed that indeed these rides don’t agree with my stomach but despite that I am glad I had a go and know from first hand experience. It is always better to try and fail than not to try at all they say and I couldn’t agree more. Live would be boring if we let every worry hold us back.
I was raised attending the Salvation Army and once learned a poem to recite at Youth Council….it was called DO YOU WORRY OVER THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN? Can’t remember it all now but started off something like this….
Do you worry over things that never happen?
Do you run to meet your sorrows by the way?
Do you miss the joys of life by constant moping..
O’er tomorrow while all is well today.
Don’t do it…it will bring you pain and suffering
Your fears will weigh you down and make you sad
Don’t run to meet the troubles of tomorrow
Just smile and sing and that will make you glad.
Maybe it sounds a little sugary these days but it is something I memorised over about 40 years ago and it stays with me and helps me whenever I am tending to fret over things.
Sorry to have woffled on so long.
Thanks again….Hope you have a great summer too.

I am a singing teacher, and I am loving your approach. I have the same philosophy as you re singing being natural, and I can now be more effective, thankyou.
With regards to facing a fear, yes it is good as long as you CAN relax, but not a good idea to push yourself through something if you are still afraid. Have you investigated Emotional Freedom Technique which is a very interesting way of effectively dealing with fears (basically you become relaxed about it)
It involves a few seconds of tapping on the body with fingertips, thus straightening out the jangled energy. My students do it at the start of every singing lesson.
If you want to know more go to emofree.com or contact me as I am an experienced practitioner and can simplify it for you.

Thanks for the sharing.
Well, I agree to go over fears but I will not go over my fear to go to this kind of stuff. You didn’t seem so afraid???
I mean what is the point to try to go over all your fears, not for this kind of manege anyway, ahahahah
Singing in front of 1400 people is much more easier for me that to do what you have done. Even the thought to do it, I feel already trembling
Then Bravo.

Per,
Your freefall analogy to facing one’s fear is well taken. Thank you for sharing it with your online students.
I feel like I’m getting so much out of your course materials, as well as the ‘let it go’ attitude you profess. Who’d ever think that after 6 weeks of using the techniques espounded upon in Lesson 3 I’d add 2 half-tones to my range – f and f# above middle c.

Thank you for this video Per. You really are a great teacher
This goes back to the post I made recently on the members forum having to do with singing infront of others. I know that it is a fear! Now I just gotta do the “just do it” part
Barbara Holmes
29. Jul, 2009
Per, as far as doing things you fear, when you turn and face your fears you take control of the situation. It is then that the people or situations you confront lose their power to frighten you as they did.
Your persuasive and gentle way of leading us to that conclusion is a good way to teach a lesson.

Hi Per,
I even felt tense watching you go up there! Top marks for doing the exercise and thank you for sharing it with us. We have watched all 4 of the Sing with Freedom dvd’s now and I am pleased to say we have improved no end, we started out going for lessons locally but we were not getting much out of it so left after the first term, when we bought your dvd’s it was the best thing we ever did your system has been the most beneficial and we watch the dvd’s on a regular basis and can’t understand why our teacher did’nt cover any of this, thank you Per

Hi Per,
I love the fact that you acknowledge fear and that we all have it. It has been hard for me to speak and sing in front of people. I have chosen to “Just do it” when I get in that situation. I make myself talk, sing, be in front of people at every chance I get. Does the fear go away? No, but it is manageable. Sunday, my group sang for a showcase. My song was first. I was so nervous, I thought my performance was going to suffer. As it turned out all was good and we are being considered for a major job next year!
Being aware of your fear and how to overcome it is not easy. Getting yourself out there, out of your comfort zone and doing what you love to do each and every time you have the opportunity helps us learn how to deal with your fear. Usually, after the first song or idea, you are on your way to a great performance and having fun.
Thank you, Per, for helping us recognize our fears and how we may be able to overcome them.

Way to go Per,it is a very good feeling to be free of scary singing fears.
One day one of my music keyboard player was very helpful to me on getting over my stage fears by bringing me on a wild roller-coaster ride with him. That ride was so scary that i never needed to go back on any roller-coaster rides ever again. After that i was able to sing on stage without feeling scared and i was able to sing without forgetting the song words. I am L.O.L. now just thinking about it. We should always try our best not to feel so scared when singing on stage,and try not to feel so scared of doing a good Job…all the time.
All the best to you Per!!

Per!
Intressant video, verkligen!
Själv så lyckades mina vänner tvinga mig att åka “Fritt fall” och det var en upplevelse kan man säga!
För mig var det så att jag inte riktigt kom över min rädsla, utan var ganska rädd hela vägen upp, men sedan när det hela var över så kändes det ganska OK, så senare på kvällen åkte jag en gång till helt frivilligt!
Hoppas du får en bra semester!

Dear Per,
I watched your video of “the drop”. I went on the one in Disneyworld, “Tower of Terror” with all the same fear. I was sort of glad i did it, but i feel I could lived with out it, but it was sort of fun.
I have now recently started playing my guitar and singing “out” and on stage. I have been physically prepared for a while, however i have not been mentally relaxed enough to go do it. Even though i really wanted to, I kept chickening out.
As you know i bought my first guitar 3 years ago at age 49. I am a self taught rythym guitarist as well as , with your help via your “Sing with Freedom” DVD’s I bought from you, a self taught singer to date.
Last year I started getting some positive feed back about my playing and singing. i HAD BEEN RECORDING SOME MUSIC ON MY HOME DIGITAL RECORDING STUDIO(oops caps)and giving them to friends and family, who have been responding favorably.
Four Thursdays ago today, i finally faced my biggest fear to date, telling my self “it’s time to get up on stage and play and sing some song’s you’ve been working on”. So I went down to a local pub here where they have “open mic night” on Thursdays and i did it. I got up and i sang three songs. I did ok, i was pretty nervous and blew the last couple lines of the last verse of the last song, had a minor panic attack and finished up. But no harm no foul. all was good.
The next week i went back feeling totally relaxed on stage and i sang and played six songs all pretty well, with minor screw ups that probabluy only I noticed, a late chord change and or etc.
Other than that it went really weel. the next Thursday I wenty back and played 5 songs all went well and i was pretty comfortable. Last Tuesday i asked to guest appear at a friends regular gig in the same place. Tonight I will go back and do open mic. I have now been asked to do a benefit concert for our local Seaman’s Church Institute here in my hometown of Newport RI on November 8, 2009 from 4 to 6 pm. 2 fifty minute sets. Thank you for helping me. Your DVDs are tremendous and i have only gotten through lessons one and half way through lesson 2, and i am now “singing with tremondous freedom” already. everything is already freer. I am comfortable, i breathe, I’m pretty relaxed and i am surprising myself with the songs i am singing that I tried to sing a year ago and could not, but now i can.
If anyone doubts that you can learn to sing, which i did for 49 years of my life. I doubted i could learn to sing and all my life i put off learning to play guitar because i thought “I don’t want to play guitar if i can’t sing”. Well playing guitar taught me to sing, I am serious when i tell you this, along with Per Bristow’s help. I m here to tell you in the words of Pete Seeger “You too can learn to sing….!”
I did not really employ Per’s help till after I started getting positive response in regard to my singing. I am very thankful i did, because since last February when i ordered “Sing With Freedom” DVDs I have improved tremendously and again, I have only completed lesson 1 and I am only half way through lesson two. I can’t tell you the difference in my life since I have begun to learn to “sing with freedom”.
I have never enjoyed anything so much in my life. I’m not quitting my day job….. yet…… but……………one never can tell. Stay tuned to the radio, you never know who you might hear someday.

Thank you for the work you do in helping people. I was interested in your work of teaching us how to sing better and develop our voices. I am 70 yrs old and have sung all my life, but not well. I’m OK in groups and choirs and still am in a choir. I would like to purchase some of your DVDs but don’t trust the Internet to pay for them. As I live in Australia I don’t know if there is some other way I could get them. If you suggest something I would be pleased to hear from you. Many thanks.

Personally, I thoughtyou wer nts while I was atching the video. Then I rememered a day not so long ago at waterpark where there was this waterslide that went at a really steep angle and I felt like I was gonna have a heart atack while I was up there the first time, but I enjoyed it so much that I went up again. This is common for me. I am afraid of hights and always have been. But there was a time that I was really afraid to make this climb up to the waterslide the first time, but I loved it so much that I didn’ notice it the other fifteen times i went up. I guess you’re right. You just have to know that you’re afraid and then let it go.

Man that looked scary!!!!
Im not one for scary rides,though i like the ghost train and the fairess wheel.
Im feeling more confident in myself and just finished singing for the childrens 1st Holy Communions at church as the church Cantor.
Facing the fear of singing as the church Cantor each sunday is helping with my fears.
Ive also found a teacher whom im having 5 intensive lessons with he was a performer in europe in alot of the major productions like ‘Cats” etc,he and his wife teach a method call the ‘Estil voice method” and he regards his training as the “voice gym”.ive only had 1 lesson so far and seems good.
Im up to my 4th dvd of your 4 dvd set per,its been gr8!!! thanks so much.
Ive got my com petition coming up on 30th of August and the Aria night on the 3rd of September.
IT called the 54th Annual Eisteddford.
Im singing ’some Enchanted evening’ from South
Pacific.’This nearly was mine’ from South pacific.and ‘Panis Angelicus’ on the 30 of Aug.
And Handels ‘Frondi tenere’,'Ombra mai fu’ on the
3rd of september.
Take care Per and ‘Happy birthday’ to yr little
boy.Enjoy yr holiday Per.Godbless you and family

Hi Per
Facing fear is a great topic. I have been performing and singing all my life, and I still get bouts of fear before going on stage, sometimes to the point of feeling ill and wanting to back out. But I always go thru with it and feel great for following thru. I’ve found that the fear is often excitement in disguise, giving me an energy boost that creates a better performance. Now I look for the fear and dive in head first whenever i have the opportunity.

Dear Per,
your creative mind is a pleasure to be around.
Even though i am not scarred of heights, that demonstration connected me with my fear of singing, for sure. Your efforts that showed to slow down and feel the fear and be aware rather than go numb or/and unconscious hit bulls eye for me.
I am off now to challenge myself….and go on slow mo and see if i can match the force of fear with a breath of awareness.
Ciao and mille grazie

I watched the video but forgot about the blog until today. Still, better late than never.
I’m discovering that my greatest fear in singing is having to deal with people who have different expectations about how they think I should sound and start criticizing me based on that. It feels like they are listening for how I’ll fail them rather than how I can touch them, and lately, with my ever-supportive husband’s encouragement, I’m learning to not let them affect me.
My speaking voice is quite deep, but that’s because I had to learn how to sound like that when I worked as a DJ. So when they hear my light, soaring soprano, they tell me it’s not my voice. When i explain that it’s the speaking voice that’s “cultured” they can’t believe it and won’t accept it and so continue to tell me I should sound deep and jazzy when I sing. I can — provided the song’s range is low enough.
Ive never been afraid of notes. I’ve been afraid of rejection by people I consider authorities, but as I think back now, I realize that the true authorities (my teachers from conservatory) have always been on my case for being AFRAID TO PERFORM, and now that I’m actually performing, they’re happy for me. And the person whose comments have been discouraging is really someone who doesn’t know much about me. She only knows that I don’t sing the way she believes I should sing. And being the brat that I am, now that I realize this, I couldn’t care less.
And last night, I sang out and I didn’t ask her after what she thought. And I felt my voice do things I haven’t done in a long time! ^_^

I can’t believe you did that, It was amazing video to watch. sometime we need to challenge our fears to be on the top.
Just exactly what I did with my vioce, Per you are the best I have not seen somethings like your way of training before, thank you so much, thank God I found you in google. My voice obeys me now beacuse I know the rules, I can now sing with freedom, I love you Per. God Bless.
Praveen
10. Aug, 2009
Hey Ditas,
I can understand exactly what you’re talking about the culturing of the speaking voice. I think how I sound when I sing is much closer to my natural voice (especially now thanks to Per) because of the relaxing of muscles and the sense of freeness. I think I sound totally different when I talk. When I talk, things are alot more tighter and stuff and that is because of other problems I have that I am hopefully dealing with.
But ya, I hear people commenting on singers and sometimes they say things like “she modified her voice to sing”, “makes her voice sound different” etc. The singer relaxes their muscles to get that freeness that allows the music to flow through. They are not necessarily trying to make themselves sound a certain way!

Hi Per
Its been a great experience going through your lessons. A lot of stuff you have been doing overt the years which does so much of damage to the voice. Trying to undo all of them through you lessons. I am an Indian Classical Musician performing for over 20 years. It will be interesting to see how I can adapt your technique to our kind of music. I did some of your voice excercices before a concert and its really amazing. Your lessons at truly enjoyable and a revelation. It was the perfect warm up. Hoping to get rid some of my voice problems especially the strain and tension in the muscles and the relaxation of the tongue. Enjoyed watching the video. Hope you had a great holiday. Cheers

I thought I was the only one who got scared going up. I thought it was supposed to be the going down part, where everybody screams, that was the really scary part. I find this is true for me in life as well. It’s scary trying to achieve something.
Praveen
15. Aug, 2009
Parakkal, that is really interesting. Indian classic music can be so complex and complete – it is nice to hear that Per’s lessons can help an Indian Classical Artist. I would like to know more about how his lessons continue to help you. Keep us up-to-date

Dear Per
Great analogy about fear and just going for it.
I share a similar process myself with my recent exploration of skydiving. I’ve now jumped tandem 3 times and am looking forward to training for solo freefall.
I’m a vocal performer and actor, and find a similarity between my skydiving experience, and Improvisational theatre, as well as singing.
I use that first moment of freefall at 12,000 feet as a metaphor. I simply go back to that moment in my mind when I’m stuck in my day, my process.
I’ve documented my 2nd skydive on YouTube:

Hi Per,
Thank you for the nice and very useful video & good to see you having fun with your kids.
I have one other point about fear, or not being able to do something (e.g.singinig in public or giving up smoking.)
Remember the golden rule is:”TO TRY IS TO FAIL”
To try is not achievement, so if you say you (or anyone else) will “try” to do something you can bet your boots you will NOT do it. If you say “I WILL” then there is no turning back because when you hear yourself saying “I will” you have inwardly accepted that you can! Per proved it in his video.
TIP! If you want to get on in life and have fun, NEVER catch yourself saying “I’ll try” to something which sounds fun but scary or you risk regretting it for the rest of your life!
I come from Scotland where we have the saying “There’s nae sic word as cannae!
“REMEMBER IT!
Best wishes & good luck to all,
Catherine.

PER, Congratulations! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us. I learned in the past: IT'S NOT FEAR ~ IT'S EXITMENT! This reminded me of my own stepping out of my comfort zone and overcoming my greatest fear of heights … and I did the bungeee, paragliding and high rope climbing … once you got it ~ you own it…. and it's FUN. Everyone, go for it! The planet needs courageous hearts.
