I've never been a big fan of making telepathy to the audience. That would be too much a wink in the eye. That would make people around me fools, right?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.
I can never wink at the audience.
You have to make an audience experience with the ears as well as their eyes.
Nobody has a magic lamp which can tell you in advance whether what you say will be effective in persuading an audience.
What good is a character who's always winking at the audience to let them in on the secret?
You can go from doing something quite silly to something dead serious in the blink of an eye, and if you're making those connections with your audience then they're going to go right along with it.
Viewers make online requests to their favorite video-making whisperers to do the things that trigger their head tingles. Everyone's needs are different. It's like an interactive choose-your-own-adventure.
People are totally overusing LOL and a wink - and I'm very guilty of using the wink - that's probably my favourite emoticon to use because 'I'm being sarcastic, don't misinterpret; don't misconstrue; I'm just kidding.' Again, for as many benefits as it has, also picking up the phone and having a conversation speaks volumes.
Put me on telly, and I think I have a relaxation on camera that makes an audience relax, too. It's not a conscious thing. Cameras don't bother me, whereas other people try to perform to them.
If I do my very best, then the camera and the audience will follow me, and eventually they will somehow feel like I feel. I don't have to show it to them. I don't have to speak it out loud.
