How do you say "stage fright"?

Question

How do you say stage fright? So far I have "el miedo escénico". I also have "terror que inspira el público", but I think it's too wordy and it just does not feel right. Can anyone tell me how I can use the second example in a sentence? Any other ways to say "stage fright" would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! Maybe after this encounter, I won't have stage fright the next time I give a speech in spanish :-) - GuitarWarrior, May 9, 2011

Those must be the lungs of a dead smoker, or coal miner - 005faa61, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 2

¡Hola!, GuitarWarrior:

My large English ---> Spanish dictionary offers these options:

Stage Fright = 'el miedo a las tablas' or 'el miedo al escenario' or 'miedo escénico'.

To get stage fright = Ponerse nervioso al salir a las tablas or al escenerio.

I get nervous on stage = Me pongo nervioso en el escenario.

Thanks Moe. I'll use this soon. - GuitarWarrior, May 4, 2011

Answer 4

The best I could find was, "miedo al público". Fear of the public or people.Hope that helps.

I can't believe I didn't think of that... Well, now I have another term. Thanks! - GuitarWarrior, May 4, 2011
