      You got to remember those certain types of microphones are not really designed to pick up all kinds of periphery noise. They're mainly supposed to be just for the speaker's voice and when you hear all of the laughter over the microphone he's holding, that means it was pretty damn loud

      @@ElizaHamilton1780 that's true. But I think someone else mentioned in here, that when you're out there in the middle of the audience you get a lot of people who are kind of not wanting to obviously show themselves laughing at such humor. They're supposed to be journalists and stuff and they're not really supposed to be showing their emotion on things like that. That's why it's best when they're up at the podium, because you're not really getting too many crowd shots. They do give some, but

Matt is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ performer and gorgeous man to look at as a bonus. It won't be long before he's in the top five of all time impressionists. Bravo, well done!!
