| Why does a person shiver on the stage? |
 |
whenever someone says you have to announce some thing on the stage. I feel not only nervous, but i feel depresssed as well. frowning faces of the audiences increase the shivering of my body. And the funny thing is that i am not in control of the shivering. Why do this happen and how can i correct it? Please guide me to goo path. |

If you imagine that there is only one person on the stage and that you are conversing with that person on a one to one basis, then your fear will go away. |

it's interesting that you actually noticed the audiences' frowning faces? are you afraid of that they might be judging you? or what are you worried about? |

Improving your confidence by self motivation or frequently consulting anyone, talking to whom makes you feel confident, must be done in order to free yourself from the fear experienced on the stage. |

| Why shiver on stage? |
|
The most important thing to know is that being nervous on stage is absolutely normal and necessary.
If you have no degree of nervousness, then you will come across as lifeless.
The shivering is just a physical reaction to your nervousness.
So, simply say, to yourself, before you walk onto the stage:
“Right Now I Feel Nervous, AND That’s O.K.!!!"
And say a few times as you walk across to the mike.

There is a lot of pressure when you have to talk on stage, you are in the spotlight and all the attention in the room is dedicated to you only.
so it makes a lot of sense to feel pressure.
it is one of the most common fears in the world and most people have it, in different levels of course.
if it is not in a level you can't handle at all, just go for it, with time it will become easier |

This happened to me when i wa sin my School & college. The first time it happened, shivering completely took over my senses and i was helpless on the stage,
After i was off stage.. everything seems quite obvious and natural. Then i started to correct myself and the shiver is off me once i did the following 2 things :
- First and foremost thing, physical appearance. I should be dressed in a perfect manner and be comfortable with my dressing all the time which avoids us thinking about others commenting on our physical appearance.
- Information. If you have the necessary information to answer everybody in the room. You are perfectly good. Lack of information sometimes pulls your confidence back. So, it is necessary that you are perfectly prepared to answer any kind of question. |

It a nutshell you are anxious and add nervousness to the mix and you get shivering. You mind is telling you to freak out because there are so many about to judge you. Its sending signals that this is not where you are suppose to be.
Your thoughts keep reinforcing that and therefore you keep shivering. The most optimal way to snap out of it is to render positive thoughts in your mind before you even get close to the stage. |

first its completely normal to be nervous when speaking in public.
second, if you know what to do, you'll be less nervous
and lastly, if you do it often, its a walk in the park. |

Most of us shiver on stage at some point. Practice helps overcome it, as does some deep breathing before you speak.
The other things you can do are use the lectern if you have one, for support. At least put your notes on it becasuse if you're holding them and your hand is shaking it will emphasise this. Put them on the lectern and nobody will notice! |
