Stage Fright

[AC_A340-500]

I read in one of my textbooks once that about 85 percent of North Americans suffer from stage fright/ public speaking in one form or another. Of those, about half the cases are severe enough to interfere with the quality of the presentation.

Most intro to abnormal psych textbooks will have something on it....

Not at all, do it all the time for band and sh!t, always fun to make an ass out of yourself once and a while.

No. I pretend everyone's naked. j/k.

Depends who you're presenting in front of. That didn't work last year in history because I wanted to vomit every time I looked at my teacher...

Sometimes yes (when I don't like the topic I have to speak bout), generally no.

no, not in front of class or school, only in front of family

Hehe.. i was in drama performaces in Elemetary, MIddle and HIghschool.. never was bothered with it.

IT really all depends for me. Sometimes.. I thrive on the attention. Other times.. i melt under the lights and crash and burn :P

Maybe , no, I am talking about giving a speech in front of people

Hell no, I love acting

Move here and join the drama team :P

I'd join the drama team but I think they'd have a problem with me doing so at age 34.

Considering my job is basically to do presentations and sales pitches for couples and large groups of people ...

no.

[FlyCharlestonSC]

Same for me too--it depends on the situation. In a school concert/choir or leading services at synagogue: no. When I am presenting something of some importance to someone I respect: yes.
