Matt Gibb has been on New Zealand TV screens for more than 20 years, debuting on the children’s television show Squirt as a teen and currently guiding city dwellers around beautiful rural homes on the property show Find My Country House NZ.

Although the 45-year-old used to struggle with performance anxiety in the past and could go to pieces at auditions, nowadays, he’s learnt how to cope with nervousness and even enjoy the feeling.

“Nervousness gives you that ability to operate at a level that heightens every sense, I think. And you need that in live TV, because anything can happen, you need to be on your toes… If you’re not at least a little bit nervous, then your brain is not going to give you that ability to fire on all cylinders,” Gibb tells Music 101‘s The Mixtape.
