What is stage fright?  The online dictionary defines stage fright as "acute nervousness felt by a performer or speaker when appearing before an audience" (Dictionary.com, 2012). 

Even famous people regularly experience what you experience. Elvis Presley said, "I've never gotten over what they call stage fright. I go through it every show." There is comfort in knowing that even "The King" always had  stage fright (Boyd, 2010). 

Now that we know what stage fright is, we must be prepared to deal with it by taking an in-depth look into the problem and finding a solution for it.
