Thread Name: Criticism at singarounds
Subject: RE: Criticism at singarounds
I find I'm singing with my eyes shut more and more - not catching anyone's eye means that I can concentrate on the song. Again, it seems to work - and certainly there are some singers who I find very engaging, despite them singing with their eyes closed.
You can easily get people's attention before you start if you take yourself and your material seriously. Doesn't affect that if your eyes are shut afterwards, though some interactions are only possible if you look.
Singarounds aren't the place to be involving audiences
A singaround with that ethos ends up as a chapter of Solipsists Anonymous.
