When one is not used to speaking in front of a crowd, having stage fright is one of the worst things that can happen at that moment. It usually results in the speaker being tongue-tied as they forget what they are supposed to present, and have to embarrassingly leave the stage for being unable to proceed with their speech. It does not have to be that difficult, for humans are born to speak. Communication should be a natural part of our lives and there is nothing that should stop us from being ourselves.
