There's something about being in a house with an audience, and having that immediate feedback. I started acting because of that energy; it's what feeds me on stage and informs my choices.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.
Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.
I just feed off the energy of the audience.
There's nothing more fun than acting on stage with a live audience and that immediate feedback.
My background is in acting, so I enjoy being able to show what I'm looking for. With acting, it's very immediate when you show someone what you're looking for, and the feedback is instantaneous as well.
I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.
In the theatre, the actor is given immediate feedback.
When I'm on stage, I feel very much at home - within a theater, within an ensemble - so this entire process is something I feel very attuned with.
My live performance, it just comes from feeling an energy and emotion from the crowd.
Live stage is being made as you go along. You feel the energy. There's nothing like a live audience.
