When you don't talk down to your audience, then they can grow with you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.
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.
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
I guess my idea of a good audience is one that's quiet and listens, but also that's alive: they respond, they're getting the jokes, they're with me. And that' s been happening.
Treat the audience with respect and maturity, and have a certain faith in them to catch up.
I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them.
If the people in the audience are talking, you're being ignored. If the people are gazing at you, you've got something they want to hear.
You've got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking, and know what they'll accept from you.
You have to be aware of who you're talking to in an audience.
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.
