I feel like it's harder to perform in front of a smaller crowd sometimes still than it is a larger crowd.
I'm more comfortable performing in front of 50,000 people than five people - it's easier. When there's that many people, I feel like I'm alone. When I perform in front of only a few people, it's scary.
I played shows in front of like 25, 50 people, and it's a lot harder to do your thing in front of a crowd that's small.
For me any moment in front of a crowd is embarrassing, because I can't stand being in front of people. I'm probably one of the worst public speakers. I try to avoid it, but there are times when it's just too rude not to do it. But there really isn't a moment that's not embarrassing for me if I'm going to stand up in front of a crowd.
Even in a given territory what would work in one city in front of one crowd might not work in front of another crowd. Every crowd is different in what they are looking for and what they'll respond to.
It's all performance and my acting background made me very comfortable in front of people, in front of cameras. It helped me think on my feet in front of a crowd.
The music comes alive when you actually perform it in front of a crowd.
By the way, to perform in front of Don Rickles, it 's not nerve-wrecking. It 's enjoyable, i am enjoying Jeff Garlin. I hope I perform in front of Don Rickles every night of my life !
I love the feeling of being in front of a live crowd and performing and just kind of letting loose and getting the crowd involved, and I got to perform at the Superbowl and at the Staples Center, you know, at the Lakers game, which was amazing.
The crowd down in Australia is always so energetic, some of the best crowds in the world to perform in front of.
I've been performing live a long time, even before doing dance music clubs downtown. I used to watch clips of Beyoncé to learn how to perform in front of people. I got my jitters out in front of my friends.
What I like about Japanese venues is that the front barrier is right up against the stage, so when you're bending over, they're right there in front of you. In some European festivals, they're so paranoid, you need a taxi to go and touch the crowd!
Before I won 'American Idol,' I'd never been in a professional studio at all. I'm getting more used to it. I'm really weird, though: I sing way better in a crowd of 3,000. It's easier than singing in front of 2.
I was way more comfortable in front of strangers than I was in front of relatives. So when they would laugh at my dysfunctions or my anxiety, I felt less alone, and I still do it for the same reason.
I'm not used to performing in front of people. When I make TV it's very intimate. In front of a crowd I get so nervous and I'm not that great at it.
Even when I perform in front of ten people, I still give that energy as if I was performing in front of 3500.
