While the exact cause of fear of speaking in public is unknown, it is a perfectly natural ‘fight or flight ‘instinct that everyone experiences.   So if you are afraid to get up in front of people to speak you are not alone.

Even the most seasoned speakers and performers experience a fear of speaking in public which is commonly called ‘stage fright.’   Although public speaking anxiety may seem like a bad thing, it can actually work to your advantage.  When you are nervous, your reactions are much sharper and you are much more alert.  Your posture straightens up automatically and you naturally become more animated.  These are all good things to have happen when you are going to address an audience.
