“I don't like not saying anything. I don't like having a wall between me and the audience.

“In theater, there's a lot of discipline involved in doing eight shows a week for a year and a half. It's nice to be able to bring some of that bag of tools with you over to the film world, where you don't have the rehearsal, you don't have an audience. You don't have a month of rehearsal to examine these words, and you meet the guy who's going to play your brother the morning that you shoot the scene. So you need a bag of tools.” WorldNeedsYearsPlayShowsAbleFilmGuyHalfMorningAudienceNiceWeekBrotherMonthsDisciplineInvolvedSceneToolsTheaterEightBagsRehearsalYour Brother Author:William Sadler
“When a musical act performs, the black audience goes crazy for all the stuff, the album cuts, everything.

“I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude - which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists.

“I fell in love with the classical crossover genre when I was on AGT. I found out that I could use the microphone to establish a deeper intimacy with the audience. I did not portray an opera character; I was my true self. I would sing a four-to-five minute piece for the audience and then I could talk to them and say "Hi" to them! I would not need to act out scenes where my character was dying from tuberculosis or killing somebody else on stage, I could have a nice conversation with them.” NeedsSelfCharacterUseFoundAudienceFivePiecesFourNiceMinutesStageDyingSceneConversationKillingDeeperIntimacyGenreOperaTrue SelfFive MinutesMicrophonesTuberculosisCrossover Author:Barbara Padilla
“I've dabbled in running around on stage, and at certain times it's nice to step away from the anchor of the piano and use a handheld microphone and connect with the audience, but I think my soul as a performer is just a little bit more connected to the instrument.

“It's nice to know that if you've worked really hard at something, it gets recognised with a tick in the success column - however you define that, be it making a bunch of dough, which the actors never see much of, or whether it's a piece that's enlightening or stays with the audience maybe six, seven or even eight or 10 years later.” IfsKnowsYearsHardActorsAudiencePiecesNiceSixSevenEightBunchEnlighteningColumnsTickDough Author:Brendan Fraser
