I remember the first time I was in front of a radio microphone, it WAS intimidating. I was a teen and asked to fill in for a friend on a high school sports segment for a major market radio show. While it was daunting, my fears were dismissed when I realized that I’d be on tape (instead of live), and that everything was carefully scripted. It was a great experience for a kid! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The same paranonia existed for the early film performers. Most came from the theatre, where they got immediate feedback from a live audience. This interaction was missing in the studio, before a camera. Still, this is strange article coming from a novellst, who gets no instant feedback from his audience. He must have been used to wondering, "Is anybody reading?" The same question or audience will arise anew with every new form of public media.
Facing A Microphone For The First Time In 1927. 2.6.24. Feels great, especially when yer vomiting on to it...drunk. P.S my irritability with Charlie Chaplin is such that I found hobos standing outside my door...and then found Chaplin starring in a talkie wasn't half bad.
@@ordinarryalien sadly, I don't have meds...engaging with the general populace is enough to keep me straight and narrow. I don't think mother needs meds...and she....well, enough about that...
@@fmcdomer Facing A Microphone For The First Time In 1927. 2.6.24. I didn't feel anything or anyone.....cerrsinly not the 20's.................. Mass unemployment, hunger, Poverty......similar scenario during 70's and 80's and 90's, though. So I could wade my guru way thru that era snorting coke, shacking up with a flapper....actually attending a party. Pointing out who suffered from bubo's, the clap....Wordsworth. They reckon junkie Wordsworth was Jack the ripper... I'd certainly like to taste hedonism.
Interesting how 100 years later, these same doubts persist as to whether or not anyone will actually listen to your youtube video/podcast
Distance vs closeness is a perpetual human struggle.

Imagine how actors reacted to the microphone.
Lots of performers suffered from something called "Mike Freight" Jack Benny's wife Mary Livingston was one.
all of us today are born into this tech.
1927 what a year incredible
