FAQs
Stage fright is not something that only impacts amateurs; experienced professionals—most likely your favorite stars of film, television, and theater—have felt stage fright. “I was so tense in the back. Coiled up. Nobody could talk to me,” Tony and Emmy winner Jeffrey Wright said of his earliest acting experience.
Practice, Practice, Practice. The more prepared you are, the less likely you are to experience stage fright. Run through your lines as often as possible so that you know them like the back of your hand. For actors, there's no such thing as over-preparing.
If you dread the thought of getting up in front of a group of people and performing, you are not alone. Millions of people suffer from performance anxiety, commonly called stage fright. In fact, most people would rather get the flu than perform.
Pablo Casals, Arthur Rubinstein, and Luciano Pavarotti (to name a few), are reported to have struggled with performance anxiety at various points in their careers.
That's why there are so many actors who turn out to be shy in real life (such as Emma Watson, Health Ledger, and Al Pacino, to name a few). Shy people can be actors because an actor's shyness becomes irrelevant if the actor can make themselves feel that they have complete privacy.
