Join Metropolitan Opera Baritone and New World Symphony Faculty Member Nicholas Pallesen as he reveals a fresh, new perspective on performance anxiety and why, to quote the 1980’s film “War Games”, “The only winning move is not to play.” Learn why shining in performances and auditions might not require needing to conquer nerves, developing a positive mindset, finding a pre-performance routine, or “getting in the zone".
