Do women feel less "Stage frightening" or is it other way around?

Question

Do women feel less "Stage frightening" or is it other way around?

Have you ever felt shy to go in front of a crowd and perform/give a speech? And have you ever noticed if anyone else doing so?

girls' stage-frightening> mens' stage-frightening>womens' stage-frightening> boys' stage-frightening

Answer 1

I depends on the person. I used to get stage fright a lot when I was younger but I grew out of it.

If I had to guess who got stage fright more I'd say men because us women are natural talkers. That's just a guess though.

Answer 2

Stage fright has more to do with knowing what you are doing when performing on stage. Weather giving a presentation or acting. If you are confident in knowing what you are doing, it's not much of a problem once you are up there doing your thing.

Everyone feels nervous just before getting up there before the presentation. It's natural.

So this really is not gender specific at all. ;0)

Answer 3

I don't think there is a difference. Stage fright generally disappears with training and experience anyways.

Answer 4

My stage fright is highly situational.  For example, I can stand up in front of a large crowd of children and have no stage fright whatsoever.  Same thing if I am "in character" - a play, for example.

But if I'm making a formal presentation to even a small group of adults or get asked by the media to do an interview (it's happened a couple of times) - HOO BOY!  I get horrible stage fright.

I usually notice that this has more to do with how outgoing the person is rather than gender.  If you're an outgoing person normally, chances are you won't have a problem with it.  If you're an introvert, (like me) you'll probably hate public speaking.

Answer 5

Err.. I think the word you want to use is "Stage FRIGHT". I'm a woman and I don't feel stage fright at all. Constant bickering with the mothership has made me a great debater. And the confidence and empowerment that comes from debating and winning, has given me the self-confidence and challenging authority characteristic of public-speakers.

Answer 6

Uh, you mean stage fright?

MOST PEOPLE fear public speaking or performing. I doubt there's any correlation to people's s*x.

Answer 7

stage fright just depends on the person,  i dont think it varies specifically by gender,  some people are just more nervous than others.  I think everyone gets stage fright every once in awhile, some just handle it better, and it diminishes the more you do things in public.
