About "Nerves of Steel"

This web app helps anyone performing on a stage to practice performing under distracting conditions by playing common audience noises at random intervals.

Adjust intensity, volumes, and sound palette in the panel below. Click Start to allow audio and begin.

Recommendations:

• Use headphones or good speakers for the best experience.
• Start with a low intensity and increase if it's not enough. The goal is for the disruptions to be startling and unexpected. Too many disruptions can be counterproductive.
