🎤 Host: Brianna🎧 Podcast: On Key

Every performer has been there—something unexpected happens on stage, and you have to think fast! In this episode, I share some of my own real-life performance mishaps, from keyboards shifting octaves to voice cracks, tripping off stage, and even pretending to hold an invisible mirror in a musical. 😆

But more importantly, I’ll talk about how to handle those moments when things don’t go as planned. Whether it’s a technical issue, nerves, or just a simple mistake, I’ll give you my best tips on staying calm, recovering smoothly, and not letting a rough performance shake your confidence.
