OVERCOMING STAGE FRIGHT. USEFUL TIPS

Since or goal here is overcoming Stage Fright, it is important to get acknowledged with some useful techniques.

There’s a great set of tips of overcoming stage fright at our Professor’s book. I would like to share my favourites with you.

1.     Recognize the stress as excitement.

If we associate the performing on stage with fear and anxiety – it’s no surprise why we are frightened of the idea of giving speech in public. The adrenaline produced in the process of performing in public is the same as the adrenaline we get riding a roller coaster, meeting friends we haven’t seen for a long time and etc. So why don’t we try to think of all the amazing things we can give or benefits we can achieve sharing the world our knowledge? How can it positively influence us, people or the world around? Let’s get excited of all the great opportunities that performing on stage gives us!

2.     Dress up

There are people who consider appearance to be an important element of everything they do. I am among them. When I’m wearing something I am not comfortable in, I feel awkward, I don’t want people to look at me, I’d rather hide behind the smart-board so that no one can notice me. This is why I should think carefully of how to dress or make my hair for the next speech of mine.

3.     Get your rest

It is vital to feel fresh and full of energy while getting ready to your performance. Have your speech written in advance, keep it in mind and don’t spend your night, desperately reading it over and over again. Get some good sleep.

I promise to apply these techniques for my every speech.

I believe that everyone should follow these tips.

Let’s overcome that Stage Fright together!!
