These were great tips on gradually desensitizing yourself while building up experience putting yourself out there. Gradually getting more experience being "on stage" in whatever form can help over time, but it can also be a scary and needlessly painful process. What desensitization doesn't deal with is the origin of the fear, the event that triggers these powerful reactions. That resides in the emotional part of memory, located in the limbic brain. Studies have shown that this part isn't accessible through conscious thought, intention or will power. If it were, experienced performers with extensive stage experience like Barbra Streisand and Adele wouldn't still be suffering from severe performance anxiety. Unfortunately, they haven't heard about some of the leading-edge therapeutic technologies that can shift mental and emotional reactions at the subconscious level, quickly and easily eliminating negative reactions like stage fright. Energy Psychology is one of the best known of these technologies (Quantum Energy Psychology and EFT are two examples). In my 25 years of experience working with performing artists and athletes, it frequently takes only a session or two to clear stage fright, performance anxiety and other barriers to the exciting and enjoyable experience of being "in the flow."
