Looking Down

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…
