    Public Speaking Anxiety http://www.fiu.edu/~schriner/anxietytips.htm
    Stage Fright
    The more important you think the consequences of a performance are, the more
    stage fright you will experience.
    The more you predict failure and doom, the more stage fright you will experience
    Explaining the Butterflies
    You make a prediction that there is something threatening or dangerous in the
    performance situation that can lead to failure.
    You experience anxiety as a result of your fear-provoking thoughts.
    You use the anxiety and discomfort you feel as evidence confirming the accuracy
    of your original prediction.
    You make new predictions about what will happen using both the original fear-
    provoking thoughts and the confirming anxiety they caused as a basis for more
    intense negative predictions.
    Conquering Your Own Tyrannical Thoughts: Stage Fright
    Realize that stage fright is self-induced. We make ourselves anxious, so if only
    we could make ourselves less anxious ...
    Do any of these statements sounds familiar?
    I will probably forget what Im going to say
    Im going to appear disorganized
    Theyre going to see my hands tremble
    A lot of people in the audience know more about the topic than I do
    I am unprepared
    They will hear my voice quiver
    Im going to come off as cold, distant, unlikable
    Im not going to get an A, B, C
