Stage Fright

Stage fright, or performance anxiety, is the nervousness or fear experienced before or during public speaking or performing. It occurs because the brain perceives the situation as a potential threat, triggering physical responses like increased heart rate, sweating, or shaking. This anxiety can make it difficult to focus, deliver your best performance, or feel comfortable on stage. While common, managing stage fright through preparation, relaxation techniques, and positive mindset can help reduce its impact and allow for a more confident presentation.
