Introduction: Control Your Stage Fright Instead of Letting It Control You
If you're reading this book, you probably think you have stage fright, and want to overcome it. However, there is no easy, quick solution to stage fright. Overcoming this condition takes persistence and desire to change.
At some point during this process, you may ask yourself: "So what if I have stage fright?" While it's true that many people live their entire lives being terrified of performing, if you truly want a successful career in the performance industry, you need to be able to at least manage your stage fright in order to perform your job.
Celebrity Stage Fright - Even celebrities who have been performing for years sometimes get stage fright when encountering new situations. Returning to perform in the UK for the first time in 9 years, Michael Jackson experienced a severe case of stage fright. In fact, if it hadn't been for another performer talking him into it, he wouldn't have performed at all!
There are many forms of stage fright, and many degrees of severity. Everyone is susceptible to stage fright, regardless of their level of ability or talent.
Throughout this book, there are sidebars that give you the perspective of experts, celebrities, and common, everyday people on stage fright. Many of these people have been through exactly what you are going through.
Stage fright can be anything from butterflies in your stomach and sweaty, shaky hands to full blown sickness and inability to perform. Stage fright can affect anyone, but there are things you can do about it. To start with, it is important to understand how stage fright affects your life, and what the different aspects of your stage fright are.
