What is Performance Anxiety?

Performance anxiety is described as the persisting, disruptive apprehension about performing in public, to a degree that is unjustified given the individual’s aptitude, training and level of preparation. It is also known as a ‘performer’s stress syndrome’ or an anxiety that is caused by the potential for mishaps that in turn evokes a fear of exposure for the performer.

Performance anxiety is a relatively new area of research. It is becoming clear that performers require a broad range of physical and mental skills to prepare effectively for a performance. Performance anxiety arises from specific anxiety conditioning experiences. It manifests itself through a combination of cognitive, somatic, affective and behavioural symptoms that may appear in various performance settings.

Testimonials

‘Vourneen gave me the confidence to get back into the swing of auditions after some time out.. I felt like a different musician than before.. I was controlled, confident and I let myself enjoy my pre-performance butterflies.. I actually welcomed them.. bring it on!’

Fiona, Violin professional

‘I used The School of Performance mental skills training workbook to help steady myself before auditions... I couldn’t believe how controlled and confident I felt performing in front of the panel. This works!'

Robin, Viola professional

‘Vourneen encouraged me to incorporate mental skills training as part of my flute practice daily. I now notice if I don’t do it the negative self-sabotaging thoughts creep back in.. the key is to practice the techniques and make them part of your daily practice routine. Then it works, absolutely!’

Ciara, Flute student

‘Working with Vourneen enabled me to overcome my fear of performing in competitive situations. I now actually enjoy competing.. something I never thought possible!’
