Because they are afraid of messing up. Here's a tip that ALWAYS helps me: If you think you are going to mess up, you probably are going to. You will so focused on not messing up that you will take your mind off of what you are doing, so you forget what to say, sing, do, and what kind of reaction you should have; if you are doing a play, that is.

What are the steps to getting over stage fright?

That's a hard question, and it can be different for everyone. One thing that works for me is to try to narrow my concentration a little bit. Focus on my breathing, on what I have to say or do onstage, and not focus on anything else. Often, the nervousness comes because we are worried about what other people are going to think. Being as prepared as possible helps, because that can bolster your confidence so you don't feel like you are going to fail... but also trying to focus only on one or two things, and not on the crowd or anything else. For me, concentratingon my breathing isn't enough. I have to look at everyone else around the stage and smile the tense feeling off. The more i talk to the crowd, the more it goes away.

Is stage fright caused by nature nurture or both?

I believe stage fright is caused by both. I had a history of family members with major stage fright and subsequently developed it myself. Stage fright can also hit people who aren't used to performing in front of people, and with much practice and exposure to the discomfort, stage fright is likely to be reduced or disappear all together. That's what happened to me. With enough practice, I learned to be totally confident while giving speeches. Just remember, every motivational speaker has had some type of formal training in order to make them completely confident in front of masses of people.
