Soft Treble

The feeling of fear and anxiety to speak confidently in front of an audience is broadly defined as stage fright. We often experience that nervous and sweaty feeling with a mind and brain freeze, a tremor in the hands and voice, and fumble over our speech. Taking deep breaths to calm one down just before the speech helps. Keep the mind focused on the topic to be discussed. Do not look at any one particular individual, but span your view across the audience. Inviting public participation by question & answer format is a good way to relax. Thorough preparation of the topic is essential to keep you going on stage. Stage fright is not confined only to speeches. One may experience the same while performing something on stage.
