Good
morning, dear readers!
How are you? Are you having a good time? If something
bothers you and you are thinking about some problems a lot – just take it easy
and then you’ll understand there’s nothing to worry about. Life is so beautiful
and we should appreciate every minute of it!
Today my task is to think about causes of a
stage fright and describe one of them in my blog.
To begin
with, stage fright is fear of performing in front of an audience and it is a
sensible response to a stressful situation. When you feel frightened, the brain
signals that your body is in danger now and it wants to protect
you – then a release of adrenalin happens. The function of adrenalin is to
provide energy and rush the body into effective action – running or attacking. When it gets into the blood stream, there
are side effects as stomach pain, shaking, trembling and shortness of breath. Now I’d like to describe the feeling
that I have while performing. It is an elevation of blood pressure. So, what is
it?
When you are stressed, you
start feeling the heat in some particular areas – the head, chest, stomach. It
happens because the most important parts of the body should be provided with
blood that brings oxygen. Then, your heart beats fast because of the high blood
pressure. Moreover, your breaths may become rapid and a fit of dizziness come
over you. In this situation, not to overheat the body, it begins sweating and
hence your armpits, nape and arms are cold and wet.
Do you feel the same when you have to perform in front of someone? What are the reactions of your body?
Oh yes, I do remember this feeling when my heart would beat so fast that I could hear it in my ears. Thanks God, now I kind of got used to perform infront of the audience. Though I still struggle with my speech tempo, because when I'm excited or stressed I speak too fast. So I guess everybody has something to work on.
