Chapter 49 let the light illuminate your face

You want to make sure there's plenty of light when you're speaking.You know, in a room as dark as the inside of a thermos, it is as difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience as to domesticate the quail into poultry. If you've read David Bilasco's articles on stage effects, you'll find that the average speaker has no qualms about the importance of proper lighting. You want the light to hit your face because the audience needs to see your face clearly.Even the slightest change in your face can reveal who you are, and it can be a real part of self-expression in a speech, and sometimes, these parts are far more vivid and important than words.If you stand directly under the lamp, then your face will be blurred by the shadow, and if you stand directly in front of the lamp, then the result is even more so, so before you go on stage to speak, It is very important to choose an appropriate location to make full use of the light.
