This Saturday, was my first show outside my circle of family and friends. It was nerve wrecking. It seemed, if something could go wrong, it did. I think what really started it off on the wrong foot, is that I completely felt out of place.
I have done shows with guests I do not know. They are successful and I have a good time. At this past show - the host did not bother to introduce me to the guests - and they didn't bother to introduce themselves.
They were all greeting and talking amongst themselves, and ignoring me.
How do you take control of the room, if the guests are ignoring you? They weren't rude, but they were only paying attention with half an ear. I am relatively new, so I have not had this experience. Perhaps - one or two guests having an outside conversation - but an entire room?
How do you handle this?
