The people with the most notes on your performance are rarely the ones who auditioned.
REFLECTION
REFLECTION
Commentary is cheap and abundant, and it gathers around people who are actually doing something, since there is nothing to comment on otherwise. Those with the most to say have often risked the least, which does not make them automatically wrong. It does mean their confidence is not backed by experience. A useful question about any feedback is what it cost the person to offer it.
Weigh criticism by whether the speaker has stood where you are standing. Listen hard to those who have. Be polite to the rest and keep moving.
Who gives you notes on work they have never attempted?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
