Katelyn Ohashi Quotes

I just feed off the energy of the audience.

A performance is only as good as the audience you are playing to. A lot of times you feed off of the audience, and we always try to give them all we've got and sometimes you don't get a lot back, but we've never been dead whenever we've performed.

The difference between a theatre with and without an audience is enormous. There is a palpable, critical energy created by the presence of the audience.

When I play live, I feel how the audience is going and follow and lead at the same time.

I like that raw energy that I get from an audience.

There's nothing like performing in front of a live crowd and just having people literally react to whatever it is you do, and there's nothing better than when you get that connection with the audience.

The crowd really controls how I am onstage. One show, it might be a lot of young people, super-high-energy dancing. I mirror that. Other shows, it's much more calm.

The crowd is the crowd. You're gonna take them as an individual performer how you take them. The key is how do you learn from them. How do you use whatever is happening reaction-wise to get better.

When you talk about the exchange of energy between performer and audience and audience and performer, I hope that I'm one of the best.

It's hard not to be affected by the live audience.

When I'm on stage, my interaction with the audience is something that really makes me come alive. It's a feeling like no other. The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside.

I love storytelling and I love just relating directly to an audience. That's why we do theatre, it's because we love contact with the audience. We love the fact that the audience will change us. The way the audience responds makes us change our performance.

I can't imagine playing a boring gig. Like, a boring audience without reaction, I will play against them.

I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.

I think as a standup performer you have to feel the audience. So the audience kind of dictates what they get, you know?

When playing any song in front of an audience, you're watching them experience it, and it changes. In a lot of ways, it's almost like the music is just the background buzz to what's happening between you and the audience in the room.

When you're onstage, you're acutely aware of the reaction of a particular group of people, because it's like a wave.

When you are in the studio, you don't have anybody to feed off of; meanwhile, when you are playing live, you interact with people and you feel the energy in the room. When the crowd is going crazy, that definitely impacts your vocal performance. I prefer to sing live.

You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we've been having in LA, which is fabulous.

I'm really only happy when I'm on stage. I just feed off the energy of the audience. That's what I'm all about - people and laughter.

There is no buzz like performing for a live audience.

You can feel how the audiences react. For us, it's about the performance and the reaction. We feed off the energy. And no matter how enthusiastic they are, we can tell if we're playing well or not.

Performing in front of an audience gives you an extra ten per cent energy and the chance to react to the instant feedback.

In a live performance, it's a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd's energy. On television, you don't have that.

There's nothing like being in front of a live audience and getting that vibe from them, and I love people to join in the singing, and I love people to clap their hands.
