Talk:Stage fright

message: Jugglers and mimes are the simplest examples of the difference in notions.
This sentence truly doesn't make any sense.  Jugglers and mimes have nothing to do with stage fright.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.3.224.161 (talk) 20:49, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps what that statement means, if a juggler or a mime gets nervous before a performance, it can't be considered a fear of public speaking since they don't even do any speaking. DanMat6288 (talk) 01:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Maybe the title should be "Performance Anxiety" because that captures all forms of anxious behavior. One can still experience performance anxiety while on stage. Jazzrhythm (talk) 20:43, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

message: You hear the suggestion of imagining your audience in their underwear all the time for dealing with stage fright. But does that technique really work? DanMat6288 (talk) 01:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It matters little; Wikipedia isn't about the truth, but what a critical mass of people think is the truth. 208.111.220.239 (talk) 02:19, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Logic establishes that considering the audience members in their underwear is demeaning and does not help the speaker connect authentically; see this article in Forbes Magazine: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sabinanawaz/2018/05/22/public-speaking-youre-doing-it-wrong/?sh=44ad4440e0f8CSTKing (talk) 20:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Just imagine them in their underwear." 

message: (For the English 1111 class)
For the group editing the page, I want to know if we'll be including the definition of performance anxiety here, as that can apply to something such as test taking or sexual activity.  Other things I thought we could look for include the bodily symptoms of stage fright, (and what goes on in the body that causes them,) what people to do deal with stage fright, (for example, beta blockers,) and effects from this- which are mentioned in the page's overview right now but I think they should be moved to a different category.  I came up with a list of things for a table of contents, let me know what you think.
-Overview (definition, general idea of what it is.)
-Causes (various causes, such as anticipation, phobia...)
-Effects/Symptoms (mental effects and bodily symptoms of stage fright)
-Solutions (what people do to deal with it- therapy, beta blockers.....)
-Who It Effects (different categories of people- actors, musicians, athletes, etc...)
Maybe a small section on performance anxiety or a link to it showing that it's related?

message: This article should be about 'performance anxiety' as a whole, stage fright is the most common form of performance anxiety, but it's not the only form.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DucoNihilum (talk • contribs) 06:47, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Performance Anxiety 

message: It's said Andy Patridge of the band XTC had to end his career because of it. So, there was no more live performance of them.
The singer Jim Morrison of The Doors is said to have been to anxious to look into the audience while he is performing live. After a while he sang by turning his back to the public and avoid looking at them. That was in the beginning of his career.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.75.185.120 (talk) 20:03, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I believe it is relevant to this article that some famed performers have never suffered from stage fright and am thus reinstating a well-sourced example. Otherwise the article gives the impression that it's a huge problem for everyone. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:26, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Non-sufferers

message: It seems the term "red light fever" specifically refers to the fright or nervousness that arises on the part of the performer when audio/video recording is being made. Should this term be mentioned somewhere? --Roland (talk) 05:14, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
