Summary/Abstract: Fear during acting is a phenomenon which accompanies the singer at every stage of his career (Debra et al, 2017) regardless of age and professional maturity. Fear begins and arises before performance, and increases during performance. It is important to note that the impact does not end there, it continues in the post-performance period. Stage fright manages to affect our physiological side which is manifested by symptoms such as: increased heart rate and blood pressure, dizziness and vomiting, trembling of body, lips and voice, contraction of the throat muscles, etc.To measure our hypothesis whether fear has an impact, has little impact or no impact at all on the voice, we conducted an assessment through a questionnaire with 25 respondents. From the collected data we can say that the performance of soloists is influenced by external and internal factors that can affect the color of sound, timbre and tension and that many times exactly these factors, at their highest degree can cause damage on stage as well as health.
