Then why are you taking the class? Take one where you enjoy going to it every day. If you want to try acting go to auditions for all the local little theater groups in your community and try out for parts there. Or volunteer to work stage sets and design or lights and sound. You'd be in the environment around people who enjoyed the same things just not memorizing pages of dialogue.
Get B-50 pills at the vitamin counter. Vitamin B2 is a dye that makes urine bright yellow, so when the color fades it's time for another pill.
Magnesium strengthens muscles, calms nerves, stops cramps, and fights infections. Get epsom salt. It is cheap, five bux for a year's supply. Put a dose in a glass with water to cover and stir until it dissolves. Fill the glass with lemonade and drink it. You can take it without the lemonade but you won't like the taste. Milk of magnesia is more expensive but nicer tasting and gentler laxative action. You can also get it in pills. Your choice. Do not take magnesium before a performance.
In an actual performance you are only vaguely aware of people out there in the darkness, and you are fully rehearsed, so freaking out just doesn't happen.
Get the drama coach to help you learn how to project your voice. It is not possible to be afraid when you are projecting.
BTW, vocal skill will improve your earning power more than any other detail.
