More often than not, you can't even see the people, the lights blind you and the audience isn't illuminated, meaning it just looks like a black abyss unless you really focus on it.

As for your nerves, multiple ways, don't think about it, focus on your lines and what you learnt in rehearsals, or even think about how excited people are to see you perform, and yes, in some capacity they are there to see you perform.

Practice, practice, practice. Get your act down cold to avoid the possibility of brain-draining on stage..

Second, find an accepting audience to acclimate yourself and fine-tune your gig. Open Mike nights are good because the crowd and performers all know it takes guts to get on stage, so they are very supportive. As a bonus, a good portion of the performances suck - which can boost confidence.

You have to remember that at the end of the day nothing matters, everyone dies alone and the consequences of you fucking up or missing a line or a chord means absolutely jack shit in the grand scheme of things. Have fun your way.
