We see them as very safe and perhaps they earn a lot of money, but did you know that there are also celebrities with stage fright? Stage fright is linked to activities such as public speaking, singing, playing an instrument, and acting. It manifests itself with symptoms such as shortness of breath, tachycardia, tremors, cold sweats, muscle tension and a long etcetera that makes people avoid exposing themselves to the public.
However, contrary to what you may believe, it is an evil that can happen to anyone. If not, tell Joaquín Sabina when he went blank on a stage filled with spectators. And you can not imagine the number of celebrities with stage fright that exist. You may not know it, but Steve Jobs himself admitted that he felt nauseated before speaking in public. Next we will discover them.
There are celebrities with stage fright that you would never have imagined. And they have so much charisma, they seem so confident... Stage fright is something that can happen to anyone, but we have good news: it can be overcome.

But, good news, he got over it years later.
#8.Daryl Hannah: Asperger syndrome is experienced by stars too
In the case of Daryl Hannah, the problem of her fear of public speaking does not come from anxiety itself, but from the fact that the actress lives with the Autism Spectrum syndrome, more commonly known as Asperger's syndrome.

Through intensive training in social skills. Repetition is very important to gain confidence.

shyness and stage fright because it is a natural relaxant. So let's listen to
