Highlights

  • This article describes and analyses the partial results of a broad qualitative study, whose goal was to explore how performance anxiety is presented in the everyday life of the lyrical singer

  • Performance Anxiety (PA) refers to a group of emotional disturbances, which encompass a set of psychological, physiological and behavioral reactions to exposure to stressful situations, being felt in various domains, from the performance of exams in speaking in public (Kenny, 2006; Mendanha, 2014; Sloboda, 2008,). It is often confused with notions of fear of facing the stage (Wilson & Roland, 2002) and classified phenomenologically by social phobia (Kenny, 2011; Osborn & Franklim, 2010) representing for each lyric singer a challenge impacting on their daily tasks (Spahn et al, 2010)

  • Within the domains of PA, we choose the particular case of PA associated with lyric singing because the career of these professionals is full of auditions, tests, exams, exams, concerts and recitals that directly and indirectly imply the evaluation and exposure to the public, in addition to the high technical and artistic rigor of which they are captivated in order to captivate the same (Mendanha, 2014)
