What you will need to know when you are on stage

What you need to know when you are Onstage
Smile, smile, SMILE!

While on stage, hold your head high and pretend that crown's already on your head.

Scan the judges, scan the audience, then once again scan the judges.

If you find it difficult to look the judges in the eyes, look at their foreheads.

Practice, practice, practice. The more you practice, the more prepared you are, the better you'll do.

On stage question is not as tough as it might seem. Often times the stage lights are so bright you can't see the audience anyway so just pretend they aren't even there.

If you don't feel confident on stage, try and get some friends and family to be your "cheering section". This will definitely give you a confidence boost while on stage!!

In order to create a natural smile rather than a "plastic look", think of something funny before you go on stage.

Always maintain excellent posture. Shoulders back, chin parallel to the ground, and back straight, whether you're sitting or standing.

Keep your walk slow and elegant during evening gown. Remember, it's at this point the judges will be able to see who that crown will fit on best.

The competition is a performance! Put on a good show. You want to entertain as well as impress.

Fake eyelashes are great for the stage, but don't wear them in the interview. The interview is a much more professional setting so wear a nice suit, small earrings, and little makeup. Your makeup should be just as much as you might wear on an average day.

If you make a mistake, try to act like it never happened. The audience may not notice and if the judges notice but see how quickly you can pick up your composure quickly afterwards they might be impressed.
