Stage fright is a common experience where individuals feel intense anxiety or fear before performing in front of an audience. This condition can affect anyone, from professional actors to students giving a presentation. Symptoms may include sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty concentrating, making it challenging to perform effectively. The causes of stage fright often stem from a fear of judgment or making mistakes. Many people worry about how they will be perceived by others, which can lead to increased stress. Techniques such as deep breathing, practice, and visualization can help manage these feelings and improve performance in front of an audience.
