Anyone can experience a “stage fright” which is the fear of facing an audience or public.
What was once referred to as “stage fright” or “rookie panic,” today is referred to as “microphone panic” because it is an element that usually connects all of these events.
It happens all the time to actors, singers and entertainment professionals, even those who don’t even have to speak, like dancers or extras.

Each year, they are awarded very sparingly to immigrants who can clearly demonstrate that they are the best of the best in their field.
The application to obtain the official endorsement of the “extraordinary abilities” of Milena Origgi, also known as Mylena Vocal Coach, got the green light in 2019 and it took two years, also due to the pandemic, to get the official issuing of the green card in 2021. One statistic turns out to be extremely interesting. In fact, according to the official USCIS report, there were 148,411 green card applications submitted in 2019, but only 614 of this type were approved!
