I've never thought of stage fright in that way. I tend to have stage fright ever time I'm suppose to speak in front of people. My mind goes blank, I forget what I'm saying, and my hands tend to get sweaty and shake. I'm looking forward to reading your next article on how to battle stage fright.

The number one thing being feeling like you are having an out of body experience and feeling spacey. Whenever I have to speak in front of people I get through it but most of the time I don't remember a word of what I said or even the fact that I just spoke!

However, at work when it gets hectic, I feel light headed and sometimes even feel faint. Thanks for writing the article, so next time is how to combat it, correct?

I never really knew all that happens within our bodies when we experience stage fright and anxiety. I liked the explanation of the static in our bodies, and how it all happens. I have experienced the shaky, and sweaty thing before, and it is interesting to see how that develops and happens.

When I have to present something to a group of people I start shaking, my hands will get sweaty, and my voice becomes shaky. I sometimes forget something important to say.

For me it's more then not just the attention going to my head, it's all the blood in my body going to my head also! I can feel comfortable about what I'm talking about or even who is around me, but when all eyes are on me, my face turns red and it is burning hot! This has been something that I think about and get myself worked up for everytime, and it happens...I guess I do it to myself.

The feeling of being overwhelmed and how you stated "We feel split off from ourselves." The whole out of body experience, I don't get stage fright if i'm performing in gymnastics meet or gaming in a horseshow in front of hundreds of people, the only time I seem to shut down is when I'm public speaking.

You can't cover up in singing as you can in speaking. So glad this helped you understand it. Now you have to do it when you sing. Let your body shake when you sing so the energy of the sound vibration can go through. If you aren't sure how to let that happen, I'd be happy to help you in a session or workshop. Best, Sandra Hi Lynelle

When I speak in front of them it's okay but when it comes down to singing I am a nervous wreck, now I know why. I got this link from Ter Scott http://instantpublicspeaker.blogspot.com Hi,
