Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

Fear of public speaking or performance, sometimes known as stage fright, significantly impacts self-confidence and self-esteem, leading some people to drop out of school, quit their jobs, or pass on promotions. Nowadays, it is a common apprehension, which means that it's the highest level of anxiety or fear that every student feels today. It’s when an individual performs a performance, a recital, a report or even talks to others. The purpose of this research is to help those people who experience being embarrassed on stage to overcome their fear of judgement. We used a questionnaire to determine which of the two respondents encountered challenges performing on stage. The results showed that most female Performing Arts students agreed they encountered challenges overcoming stage fright. In conclusion, we will put on various methods on how to prepare for a performance or a presentation you’re assigned and also tips on how to overcome it day by day so that you don’t have to worry about it anymore, just like what Caoile (2019) and Caballero, Defuz and Reyes (2017) did on how they overcome their fear of presenting/ performing in front of an audience.
