I would just say go for it! Everyone has their own unique set of strengths and all of them are needed to put on a good performance. You find yourself lost in the script or the music and you meet the most wonderful people along the way. Enjoy every moment and always put forward your best. Don’t let that stop you from learning more, there will be new things that you learn every single day you perform.
