Great Resource December 12, 2008
This book is wonderful - it offers concrete techniques for overcoming public speaking. I've only had it for about 2 weeks but it's already helped me out tremendously.
In The SpotLight, Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking and Performing November 26, 2008
I have read so many books on public speaking but none has ever addressed the subject the way Janet does it. I feel at last somebody has known what my problem is. I have not finished reading the book yet, but it is so useful for somebody who has tried everything else without success. Most books under estimate this fear but Janet has experienced it and she knows its magnitude.I am very positive this book will help me cure my fear
Face Your Fears and they Will Flee May 5, 2008
I am a college student studying Business and I've had a long history of anxiety and panic with being "In the Spotlight." I finally got sick of living in fear-- that a teacher would call on me or that I would have to give a presentation. If a presentation was listed on the syllabus for a class I would have a panic attack right there just in anticipation! I was finally fed up and joined Toastmasters about a year ago. I then set a goal to start the only Speech club on my college campus. At this point, I was still VERY nervous about public speech and decided to read this book in preparation of the first Speech club meeting.
This book helped me in many, many ways. It helped to go forward with that first meeting for the Speech club-- something I had been dreading for months and months! There are many positive and useful techniques: positive thinking, reassurance training, breathing techniques, getting to the source of the anxiety... The list goes on!
I still get nervous giving speeches and continue to have small panic attacks when put on the spot in a class. I know that if I continue to face this fear and use constructive techniques such as the ones in this book, I will slowly grow out of it. Good luck!
 Sleep on it... February 7, 2008

I would listen to this CD to sleep, not for my anxiety. The best thing for anxiety is Celexa and EMDR. I bought this CD with the book and it's terrible. It states the obvious and is not helpful at all.
Sorry, but it sucks.
Helpful Insights January 8, 2008
The author had first-hand stage fright experience and she shared the techniques that she learned to overcome the stage fright and to go beyond the fright to enjoy being in the spot light. The skills are very valuable for a stage fright person like me, and are also valuable for teachers of music who would want to learn how to help students with stage fright.
The skills mentioned in the book are transferable skills that can be used to reduce stress and to cultivate positive self-esteem. Teachers can use these excellent skills to help their students.
It was by far the best book that offers alternative and possible solutions to shift the stage fright paradigm. The book has been helpful to me as a personal growth tool and in other areas of my life, in addition to the performance anxiety challenges. One day I was feeling down, and reading chapter 10 of the book re-channeled me to something more funny and pleasant and I was uplifted. That was a powerful experience.
The book is easy, fun and enjoyable to read. Once you start reading, it is hard to stop reading.
