Re: My first bad-ish performance

[Laurie Amat <voicesound@att.net>]

Hi D, 

One thing I've learned about performing is that sometimes you really can't 
tell what's going on. I've had audiences tell me how wonderful and moved 
they were by a performance I thought it wasn't so good, I felt like I 
wasn't in it, and then I've done some that I thought were "amazing" and 
had people tell me it was really good, but I didn't understand how they 
wouldn't be knocked out!  Now I just appreciate all of it. 

We are HUMAN - We are not ROBOTS! Too bad, though...

It might be the idea that if you're so internalized by it, it's a personal 
work, kind of private. Hard to put into words. 

But you've got it, knowing that the audience doesn't know how you're 
feeling, and obviously you did your "work" right and sent out the gift 
anyway. 

Congratulations!

Laurie
