missroseroseI attended a Master Class last week, taught by a classical soprano, and one of the first things she told me was that, when performing, I needed to ditch the glasses. Apparently a singer's eyes are the most expressive part of her face, and glasses obscure them.
I've spent most of my life wearing glasses, with only occasional breaks (until I got tired of futzing with contacts), so I was at first hesitant to imagine doing so regularly. But I took a couple of quick pictures with my MacBook webcam to compare, and I think I see what she means. After thinking about it a bit, I realized that that's probably why I like my glasses so much - they give me a sense of being one step removed from other people, and without them I look more vulnerable.
But I'm not the best person to judge, so I'm asking you fine folk: Imagine I'm dressed up for a performance here (instead of just going to the Viking), and tell me which picture makes more of a connection with you, the audience member.
