I'm completely lost on whatever point this is supposed to be. I can see no
good in thinking this way. What does it mean to "take ownership of one's
performance by not giving anything away?" I'm sorry, but a performance IS
for the audience. >>
Hi Doris!
I agree that this seems to be a very confusing concept. My guess is that what
was meant is that we singers have to enjoy our performance, the act of
singing, in and of itself before we can share the joy with our audience. Does
this make more sense?
