Orson Welles, breaking it down.

YouTube - Orson Welles on performers working an audience (1979)

How do you win your audience? x

Thanks for this, I will forward this on to a few of my friends.

However, I wish that woman would stop trying to interject and just shut the fuck up.

Totally. Notice how she's on his show now.

Welles is the man. That video is awesome.

The difference for us is the abundance of new audiences and a lack of reviewers. Meaning no single event is that important and we don't necessarily have to work the audience. So we can just be.

I was particularly intrigued when he was talking about Carson and said that what he was doing was creating an incredibly skilfull balance between genius and relatibility and yet was doing this authentically. I'd love to hear more on this. This is a question I'm thinking a lot about.

Much respect for Welles. An auteur in the true sense of the word.

Hmmm, he was "truly Jonny" i.e. sincerely himself.

With sincerity.

I better remind myself to watch this when I get home from work sounds good
