To perform in front of a room full of people you go to school with would be terrifying. I couldn't do it now.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Performing live in front of an audience is such a matter of will - all of those things you can do just fine in your basement, suddenly you have to do them in front of hundreds or thousands of people, and it becomes a different matter entirely.
I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.
Auditioning is the most terrifying thing I've ever done. There must have been four or five of them where I completely froze up and walked out of the room. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.
At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.
Onstage, you can be anything you want to be. In concert, I might project a different side of myself, but I wouldn't do anything I'd be embarrassed of.
Onstage I do all the stuff I'd never do in real life, like lashing out at people who make me mad or freaking out in a long bank lineup. Performing allows me to fulfill all the sicko fantasies I've ever had.
I love being able to perform in front of people. I like potentially making a difference in somebody's day or somebody's life.
Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.
I found I could perform in front of 200 people, but I would still feel nervous having a one-on-one conversation.
There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that.
