How to overcome stage fright

Hello, my name is Raimonda and I am a student of Applied languages at Marijampole College, which is in Lithuania. Today I will talk about stage fright and how to overcome it.

The title of article is "How to overcome stage fright" I found it on wikihow.com

In my opinion, its kinda useful topic because many people have stage fright and don't know how to deal with it. According to this problem from the topic I chose seven most helpful tips that will help to eliminate this problem.

Even the most confident performers can suffer from stage fright. Stage fright is common for everyone from Broadway actors to professional presenters. If you have stage fright, then you may start to feel nervous, shaky, or even completely debilitated at the thought of performing in front of an audience.

So if you wanna do something about it, first tip would be to relax your body. To overcome stage fright, there are a few things you can do to relax your body before going on the stage. You can do that in three ways: first is gently hum to steady your voice. Second is eat a banana before you perform. It will lower that empty or nauseous feeling in your stomach but won't make you feel too full either. And the last one is stretch. Stretching your arms, legs, back, and shoulders is another great way to reduce the tension in your body.

Second tip is videotape yourself as you give your presentation. Keep presenting and taping until you can look at the recording and think, "Wow, that's a great presentation!" If you're not happy with how you look on tape, then you won't be pleased with how you appear in person. Keep doing this until you get it right. When you're up on stage, just remember how great you looked in the video, and tell yourself that you can do even better.

Third is to avoid caffeine. Unless you're normally a caffeine addict, don't have extra caffeine on the day of the performance. You may think that it will make you perform with more energy, but it will actually make you feel more nervous and jittery.

What is more that we can do is to get some exercise. Exercise releases tension and gets your endorphins going. Make time for at least thirty minutes of exercise on the day of your performance, or at least take a thirty-minute walk. This will get your body geared for an amazing performance.

Also, you should laugh as much as you can. Watch a comedy in the morning, put on your favourite YouTube video, or just spend the afternoon hanging around with the funniest person in your company. Laughing will relax you and take your mind off your nervousness.

Another good suggestion is to get there early. Show up to your presentation earlier than anyone in the audience. You'll feel much more in control if the room is filling up after you arrive instead of showing up to a full house. Showing up early will also ease your nerves and will make you feel less rushed and more at peace.

That last one but not the least is to talk to members in the audience. Some people like to sit in the audience and start chatting with others to get more comfortable. This will make you see that the audience members are just ordinary people like you, and will help you manage your expectations. You can also just sit in the audience as it fills up for a bit without telling anyone who you are -- this will only work if you're not in costume, of course.

Summing up, stage fright is common for everyone and there are many ways to deal with it. We just need to choose the right ones.

Thank you.
