You know, it's nice on a sitcom to have an audience there, but there's still a wall of cameras between you and them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing.
I'm ridiculously fortunate to get a chance to experience the sitcom world. The schedule is extremely easy, and you get fed as an artist because you're not only working on a project, but you get to work with cameras, and you get the audience there.
I'm always aware of the camera and it feels like that's the audience.
The live performance aspect of shooting a multicamera sitcom is wonderful. You have that instant audience reaction.
It is really funny to see people that you know acting unpleasantly just because there are TV cameras on.
I'm a great audience myself. I tried to keep in the background while others were on, but sometimes I'd just get hysterical.
There's nothing like the energy in a small comedy club room or a small theater when it's going really well. I can see everybody's face practically in the whole room. There's no cameras in the way, and it's just me.
There is always something wonderful about a live audience.
We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that.
Sitcoms are like summer stock. You put it up in three days, and then you do it in front of an audience, so it's a really great transition from theatre into camera work.
