Stage Fright Help Centre

 Whether you're an aspiring or professional performer, a person who deals with the public, someone who panics when they have to do presentations or training at work, or even a student who feels uncomfortable making school presentations, you will find the answers to many of your questions and concerns.

Trisha is an aspiring singer from San Diego and was the first to contact us for help through the Internet. 

Janet (who is terrified by business presentations says,  “Even death sounds like a better alternative.”)

Sandi  (Writes from South Carolina, explaining that at each school presentation, she has the “recurring fear” that her “legs will collapse”.)

Rachel (A singer who quit her career and worked as a grocery store cashier for two years makes an incredible comeback after a few weeks of personal correspondence.)

Anne  (A visually impaired singer from Atlanta took beta blockers for years to control her heart pounding due to extreme stage fright.)

Karen  (Karen came to Showoffs to help overcome her shyness. She is a professional editor who's goal is to become a writer. It was only fitting to give her the "assignment" of writing about her experience in the workshop. 

Avern  (writes to Showoffs Stage Fright discussion group after taking the weekend performance workshop.)
