I look at is as one single entity. I dehumanize the audience. This way, I don't get nervous, you know?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's frightening to be facing an audience. There is always the fear of what they think of you, what they are saying about you.
I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do. I'd be self-conscious if I did. Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think.
You want the audience to be uncomfortable.

It's very difficult to get an audience to be terrified of what's going on. Think about it: You're in a room with so many other people, so for them to be terrified and to care about what's going on on-screen takes a lot of work.
I like to think if something scares me, then there's a very good chance an audience will feel the same way. The key is creating scenarios that people can relate to.
I used to be afraid of looking at the audience.
As a member of the audience I don't like it that I can't see what's going on in the eyes and in the face and in the most subtle responses of a performer when I'm more than a few rows back. I find it very frustrating.
The audience will make you feel like a demigod. But when you leave the stage, get back to being human.
Every single night I'm nervous. You never know how the audience is going to react.
