So yeah, had a fun night on Friday at Testify. Met some cool people and felt happy about getting onstage and all that.
At the bar afterward, a friend mentioned that I seemed comfortable but I looked down at the ground a lot. He wondered if it was something I did while I was thinking.
Maybe. I also told him it might be some kind of shyness instinct. It also may just be something I do. Something I have done for a long time when I feel moderately uncomfortable.
I remember getting that kind of feedback in June when I acted for the first time in a long time, that I needed to do better at keeping my head up so the audience could see and hear me.
Anyway, I’m posting this mostly so that I think about it in the future. So that I think about that instinct to look down and maybe try to train/convince myself to keep the head up.
Maybe I can look to the side or something instead. Or at the ceiling.
Or just not worry about it…
