Learn English with this performance English lesson

I  used to have a stage fright, but now i feel natural when i’m on the stage.

I have stage fright already, but not because something bad happened to me on stage or bad experience like Vanessas.. I’m just a very shy person..

I always try to tell myself there’s no need to freeze up, it will be just ok and that my fright is unreasonable, but once I get in front of the audience, it just all happens that my face blushes and my voice shakes… !! 

I like performing on stage,though i have gotten stage fright at the beginning,i practise and practise,then several times later ,i get over it.

I like to be a center of attention but sometimes (let’s say when I host a meeting)  I may feel a stage fright (a fear to do something wrong and get embarassed). How do I cope with it? I try to pretend being confident and calm. Fake it till you make it – it does work!

thanx moriza for kind reply.

I love perform, I never gotten stage fright, except in the first time that I was on a stage. But I love be in the center stage and be the center of attention.

Once I fell down, but it’s ok..I danced for 12 years and once or twice it happene. I never cared.

I do really have stage fright.

And I didn’t like to perfome on stage. Because I always feel stupid there. 

 but I work with children and I’m always the center of attention there.  step by step I got used to it. you know it teaches to be confident, cause you are always  looked at. 

And now I want to try to perfom, cause it’s very interesting, it develops your personality. And being on stage you get a lot of crazy emotions.  

I’m not so much into being on public with some actions such as making a speech, dancing or singing. Still I had to do everything independently if I wanted it or not. Why was  that? :) Because I have always danced while being on parties, as everybody did  it, and sung songs on Karaoke when my people asked me to do it, as they said I sang prettily. While studying at the University I was a singer of the Uni’s group.  Forgive my immodesty, please. :) My surrounding has always been  in all comfort for me that helped me a lot to become who I am now.

Thus I turned from a shy girl into a social butterfly. And now I’m here with all of you reading your brilliant comments and putting my humble opinion on the paper. I don’t tend to be the life and soul of the party, but I like it when  I have a heart-to-heart talk with you, my dear friends.

I have an experience of several public  appearances/speeches in my university, and each time I felt the same: nervousness before  beginning of the action, and that nervousness as stronger as closer the time to go on “stage”. But after I begin my speech my nervousness fade away (as far as I know it is a widespread  phenomenon when waiting for some exciting event is more scary then event itself), moreover, I felt  some kind of enthusiasm, confidence, I felt the power of my voice haha) In an ordinary situations in society I am not as confident and enthusiastic , it looks like I have something in common with Sara here. When for the some reason I become a center of attention, I feel  quite uncomfortable, very often my face turns red, silly)

About different fears . Mostly when you are afraid of something, you understand that logically there is no reason to worry. But nervous system don’t want to hear brain! Stupid unconscious

For me,being at the centre of attention is so annoying.I get,somehow,stressed in those cases and that annoys me a lot.So, I prefer to be in a shadow.But if I’m forced to do sth infront of the audience,I spend a lot of time to make myself so ready for that occasion inorder toat least not forget what I’m going to do or say.

Friendlover,you are right,it,s not a real stage,it,s virtual.And we perform here

virtualy.Agree,ones perform better,the others only learn how to do it,but we all like this stage,it helps us to develop our skills in English,but not only.We learn a lot one from another and it spreads our outlook.

Bella, our part is to live our life in a way to not regret in the end.

Bella,   learn, learn ,learn  ........

i agree all the world is stage but what is our part would you like to explain moriza or julito.???

I have stage fright. Just like Lesya, I prefer being in shadow. 

Moriza, yes all the world is a stage and we are players but in this stage we are not the center of attention. I mean in general. But in a real stage, in front of auidience, while everyone is expecting a magnificent show, everythinh is different.

Thanks Julito, we all are players here,aren,t we? And you are one of the best!

Moriza, ” all the world is a stage”   , couldn´t agree more.    I like .

“All the world,s a stage,and all the men and women merely players.They have

their exists and their entrances…”

Seiyf, it is said that it never rains in  Southern   California and it never falls snowflakes  in Buenos Aires  ,   In christmas is so hot  and Santa  wearing  warm clothes , he should be paid double, to say the least.
