If you have issues with stage fright, jumping into the deep end of the pool (i.e., taking a shot at something like Pentathlon) may not be the best place to get started. Yes, I did it - because there were no other venues.
I'm just starting to get back in the pool after being broken. No problem with dance band duty or street busking, but singing in front of people is still iffy. My audience the other night was four people who know me and get what I do - I could handle that.
Starting small and finding your comfort level is not a bad way to go.
