For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love the challenge of having an audience know what you're thinking without having to tell the audience what you're thinking.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the audience would want. That's my job, is to anticipate ahead of the audience.
On one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to the thing I think I need to say.
To me, it's important to try and make an emotional connection with the audience.
I try to read the audience, see what they're in the mood for.
I consider each performance to be an intimate conversation between me and the audience members.
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
I don't try to communicate with my 'audience'. I don't bother with that any more. I used to try to have conversations with people, but it's futile.
I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do.
I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.
