It sounds more to do with stage fright which can be a part of SA and not really agoraphobia.
A couple of definitions of agoraphobia i found are:
the fear of public places or open spaces; agoraphobics try to avoid being in situations from which they think escape would be difficult or help and safety are not readily available; this is often diagnosed in conjunction with panic disorder
Fear of open spaces, leaving a familiar place (eg, one's home), or being in places or situations in which escape may be difficult or embarrassing or where help may not be available.
Not gonna be the same for everyone and they don't cover everything but you probs get the idea.
