You will be OK!
Thank you for visiting. My name is Sally Kanemitsu, and I’m a specialist in overcoming stage fright with brain-based methods.
How can we truly overcome stage fright in public speaking?
Many people still believe that endless practice and experience are the keys. I used to believe that too, practicing for hours just to deliver a one-minute announcement. But the more real-life experience I had, the worse my symptoms became, and I kept losing confidence.
Fortunately, I discovered brain-based training and overcame my fear in a short time. Since then, my life has changed drastically. I couldn’t even attend small gatherings before, but now I can enjoy talking and even playing music in front of dozens or even hundreds of people.
If you have a negative image of public speaking, you’re probably under constant stress about the possibility of having to do it. I hope you, too, will overcome stage fright in a short time with my method—and start enjoying stress-free days.

Why Your Brain Triggers Stage Fright
The Root Cause of Stage Fright
Imagine this: your heart races, your hands shake, and your voice trembles as you stand in front of an audience. Why does this happen? The answer lies in how your brain processes fear.
No one is born with stage fright. Instead, negative experiences—such as making a mistake or feeling humiliated in public—create “fear memories” in your brain. Over time, these memories teach your brain to see public speaking as dangerous, which triggers stage fright symptoms in similar situations.
Why Traditional Methods Don’t Often Work
Many people try traditional stage fright solutions such as speech classes or breathing exercises. While these may help with mild anxiety, they do not address the root cause—the fear memory itself.
If you attempt the actual performance without changing how your brain perceives public speaking, the fear often intensifies, trapping you in a cycle of anxiety.
Overcoming Stage Fright with a Brain-Based Approach
The most effective way to overcome stage fright is to reprogram your brain’s perception of public speaking. When you replace fear with positive imagery, stage fright symptoms disappear.
Sally’s brain-based methods focus on rewiring fear memory through simple yet powerful mental training. Practical and easy to follow at home, this approach has helped many individuals achieve breakthroughs and speak with ease.
