When I'm talking to a large audience, I imagine that I'm talking to a single person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The kind of audience I'm speaking to is a very wide range of people.
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 think of the audience the way I would think of another person: You meet someone, then you take it from there; you see what's interesting to both of you.
I found I could perform in front of 200 people, but I would still feel nervous having a one-on-one conversation.
It doesn't matter as long as there's interaction between me and the audience. That's why they come.
For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
As any speaker will tell you, when you address a large number of people from a stage, you try to make eye contact with people in the audience to communicate that you're accessible and interested in them.
You have to be aware of who you're talking to in an audience.
I consider each performance to be an intimate conversation between me and the audience members.
