This book is a treasure trove of support! It serves as an ideal guide in school, at work, and on stage to overcome paralyzing fear of public appearances, unleash creative energy, and tap into creative potentials, even learning to enjoy the anticipation of a performance. A wealth of practical exercises reduces stage fright and fear of failure, transforming public speaking, presenting, moderating, and performing in both small and large groups into a joyful experience for amateurs and professionals alike. Typical symptoms of stage fright—fluttering butterflies in the stomach, cold or trembling hands, sweaty palms, tension in the neck, cold feet or calf cramps, dry mouth, confusion—quickly lose their fear-inducing significance.
