I'm sure this subject has probably been done to death here before, but I can't find it in the Mud. Is it OK to shut one's eyes whilst singing in front of an audience? I do it all the time. Always did. But that is because I am easily distracted. I also do it when presenting on radio. Actually I think that probably helps because your listener is also blind to what you do and say. But does it distract from the performance? I tend to think it is the audience's eyes on me that count, not my eyes on them. It also has the benefit that in a song I am less confident about I can sometimes almost read the lyrics off the back of my eyelids! What do Mudcats think? I moved this into a previous thread. -Mod
