I do not have stage fright. I do not think that I have ever been afraid to talk in front of people that I do not know. I had to take a required speech course in college and I found that many of the students were afraid to speak in front of their peers. I must say that this fear is irrational. Most of the time, the people you are speaking to do not want to judge you or your speaking. They are listening more to the content of your speech. If you focus on having good content in your speech and maybe a bit of humor, you will be fine. For those who are afraid to speak in front of others, my best advice to you is to focus on the quality of your speech and to relax. People in the audience can tell if you are nervous and will respond differently to your speech if they can tell that you are nervous.

Hi there! Well, I am lucky that I don't have stage fear. I only experience the usual nervousness, the nervousness that's ordinarily felt by people who are about to go onstage and perform or give a speech.
