Stage Fright

Stage Fright, or performance anxiety is a real, legitimate phobia that many people suffer from. But there are also many ways to remedy or alleviate the anxiety.

Methods Include:
Practice and Preparation
Self-Confidence
Relaxation

Many people fear that they may not be "good enough" for their audience. In all actuality, with a little confidence, practice, and inspiration, the speaker will do well. Stress is something that is mental, to 'psyche' us out and to scare us, but nervousness is nothing to be afraid of. Even the greatest of public speakers can be nervous. But, they proceed, they carry on, and they succeed.
Stage Fright and nervousness are nothing to worry about.
