Question:

What is your opinion on this?

I love being on stage. I am a naturally quiet person and sort of shy. I have this weird thing, though, where the bigger the audience, the less nervous I am. And if it's a audience the size of a class, I really get nervous. I'm getting over it sort of, but it's still true. I'm in a play, and I"m not nervous at all about performing in front of my whole school. But when I have to do a class presentation for drama class or anything else that involves less people, I hate it and I get real stage fright. Do you know anyone that is like that? Why do you think that's the way it is? I just want some opinions. No stupid answers please =)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i'm not sure...but it really makes sense. it seems like if there are less people in less space MORE attention is on you. but if there are a large amount of people in a large space they're probably not all there to see you- no offense. so they'll be concentrating on other things because there's a greater variety of people and no one's keeping an eye on them, like a teacher. so they could be checking their cells, pacifying their kids, whatever. so don't worry! you'll be great.
