Oh my I have been in front of 10 people and I have been in front of 10 thousand... I have always felt shy and been singing seriously for two decades now. Some people say that awkwardness go with experience, I'm talkative, sometimes clownish but I feel the little anxiety, then the stage persona takes over and "does the work". I'm overall a very quiet person, and in high school spotted as extremely shy. I never really attended to any school performance (dreamt I would but never dared) it was a "hidden" dream for a long.
