Some good tips on breathing have already been given.

Another thing is to make a firm entrance on to the stage. Don't enter is wishy washy way be bold and be in character mentally before you enter the stage.

Once you are on the stage be centered and do it. And most of all enjoy it.

If you try to be good or milk the lines etc you will look like an utter fool and like a crap actor. I have seen so many actors age 14-18 who think they can act and most of them are rubbish who in talent terms are a waste of space.

Most really good actors will tell you they don't know what they do or how they do it they just do it. Their biggest fear is they will step on stage and they won't be able to do it, because they don't know what they do.
