It’s never how you rehearsed it
I am back from my hosting gig tonight. The room was almost full. The crowd was not the best clappers and I feel I could have gaged them a bit better, but my nerves got to me a little. I did notice that when I am in a groove I can feel it and I am more animated. But when I am unsure of myself I get awkward. I need to get one thing straight and I learned this tonight and I need to make sure I get this down…
Nothing ever works out the way you practice it!
You can think you will say it a certain way and the word will be exact and it only happens that way now and then , it’s never consistent, it can be your crowd, something happening in the room, the TV can be left on , a server can drop a tray…but it never happen the way you picture it. Embrace it, learn to roll with the flow.
I also was happy with my recognition of the flow, I know what the zone feels like and how the flow lets me forget about everyone else and just lets me tell the story.
I need to work on my hosting, but do have one good bit to polish that is a great hosting bit.
