[Shawnski]

When given lemons, make lemonade.

If you know you have an event coming up, prep for it. If it is golf, go hit a bucket of balls a couple times before the date of the event. Ask people who are there if they can give you any tips with your swing. You don't have to kill every shot, just make a solid contact and you are likely good to go.

As for karaoke, think of songs you like and could actually do. Sing them to yourself so you are comfortable. And contact the DJ before the event to make sure they have it! Most DJs will try to help out and even if they don't have a song, will endeavour to ensure they DO have it for you when the time comes. Edit, but don't leave this to the last minute! Sometimes it takes time to find a song.

And sing in a group if you can.

A little planning ahead can help ease any tension you are feeling. It certainly can't hurt.
