You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always operated under the notion that audiences don't always know when they're being lied to, but that they always know when they're being told the truth.
You can't lie to your audience. You can't lie to your fans.
The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer. A moment that lags - they're gonna cough.
On the stage, you have to find truth, even if you have to lose the audience.
Most people don't care if you're telling them the truth or if you're telling them a lie, as long as they're entertained by it. You find that out really fast.
Remember that it is not enough to abstain from lying by word of mouth; for the worst lies are often conveyed by a false look, smile, or act.
When people write lies about you, and you know that they are lies, that means that they don't know the truth.
You need to tell the truth to the audience, or they will throw a brick through the TV. They'll turn you off.
I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.
To be in front of an audience and pretending, and to lie, this is the principle of acting.
