Do you have stage fright?

I've had agorophobia when I was younger and I would suddenly cry when I was making a speech. =/ But other than that, I got over it. Mostly because I take parts in plays that are not important. Such as *gasp* the tree! Heh.. Kinda funny, all I had to do was stand and hold up leaves.

*dies*
 
If I have to do something that means I'll be in public view with the spotlight on it, then I'll do it... But for my French coursework I (and the rest of the class) have to do a three minute presentation off by heart in French... which I'm kinda trembling about.

But many a time, I don't actually participate in stuff where I'll be the key figure. Sure, I like acting, but I'm not in a dramw group or something, I'd prefer to go on the internet (and that says a LOT about me ^_^), than go up on stage and pretend to be someone I'm not.

All in all, I don't have stagefright, but I do have a tendency to avoid things which involve me being the centre of attention.
 
I used to have stage fright when doing those plays in 2nd grade, but I am not anymore. ^_^ (since I got over with it. Yay!).... or I won't be able to proform on stage. ^_^
 
I do just before I go on, but while I'm on I'm fine. I did screw up a bit when last year I was the owl in Alice in Wonderland so I had to do a posh English accent *cringe*
 
Actually no. The last time I got onstage, mid-way through it, I realized I wasn't supposed to be there yet. So I ran off the stage and buried my head in a curtain laughing. When it was my time to come out again, I did what I had to and then called it a day. I blew it off as a mistake, but some people came up to me and said they were embarrassed for me which made me laugh even harder than before.
Ooohhh, Life.
 
Well... Yeah, I usually do get a bit stage fright when I know that a lot of people's attention is on me. ^_^; I guess it's because I'm shy, and I'm homeschooled so I don't have to participate in plays and things like a lot of kids do in public school, so I'm not used to it. I usually get so nervous, and I'll forget what to say and everything, lol. It's funny though, how my best friend isn't shy in the least! I mean, she'll just go up and talk to anyone, she sings a lot in front of other people, (she has a good voice so she usually sings on the stage at church and everything) and a lot of other stuff, while I'm very quiet and just polite! It's interesting how we ended up being friends... I guess we kind of level each other out in a way!
