Question Posted Thursday May 19 2005, 8:35 pm

it's not that i'm a shy person, but I often get stage fright. sometimes when I have to perform a play or skit, or when I have to go in front of my whole class and all attention is on me, my body starts to get really hot and like my face, chest, and arms will turn red. I just wanted to kno if other people are experiencing that too.. and how can I prevent this from happening??

thanxx

You're not alone, I'm like that, too. What I usually do is look at a wall behind someone's head. Don't stare at it, though; change what wall you look at from time to time.

Also, NEVER, and I mean NEVER, look anyone in the audience in the eye. It will make you even more nervous.

Do this, and your stage fright shouldn't be as bad.

I hope I helped and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

Okay, I can totally understand this. This used to happen to me as well, it will get better though.

To answer your question yes, there is a way to stop the fright, but not always the blushing.

Try saying the speech or whatever as much as possible so that you can feel confident about it.

Also, try to tell yourself "The sooner I get it over with, the sooner I'll be done, and the sooner I'll be able to go back to my seat."

Try just concentrating on what you're doing and not on anything else.

Good Luck!!

No, Im sorry, you can't really prevent this from happening. It happens to everyone at least one time in their life! Try thinking of something relaxing or funny while you doing it (I know it sound corny...but try to imagine everyone it their underwear...works for me!!!)...maby you'll feel better after that.

Hope I helped!

Hey haha im the SAME way.Around kids in my school im one of the most out-going people but when all eyes are on me when im in front of the room i get a lot like u. i sway back and forth, get hot, and shaky. which is a bit ridiculous considerin ive known these kids for at least a year. One thing you can try to do is when you look at people, just scan them, don't look into their eyes really and don't stare at one person. It comes with practice. Don't worry! HOpE i heLpEd!! Good luck! :D

I'm shy and stage fright. But, maybe you should say your speech in front of family members or friends who wont make you nervous and do it over and over again and then try it at school. then with plays, you could ask the peoples to turn on some fans or something. Pretend nobody is there. and if that doesnt work, im sorry. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you may have. thanks
