I'm often surprised at how many performers are introverts. I have known people who while barely saying a word and make eye contact in close social contact are able to get up on stage and sing, perform and show-off in front of hundreds.
A few famous examples: Michael Stipe of R.E.M., George Harrison of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix.
- droz 15y agoIn college I used to hold study sessions for undergraduates in computer science. One thing I found was that one-on-one interactions were incredibly simple. Bump that up to may 5 or so people, and the mental effort to keep track of each person's reaction became more difficult. Up to about 15, almost impossible to do effectively. But, once I got past 50, it was almost like being up there by yourself. So, I can see how an introverted performer might have a similar experience as the audience grows in size.
