It’s Okay to Let ‘em See ya’ Sweat!
February 17th, 2009
I think it was a Secret deoderant campaign that made the tagline “Never let ‘em see ya’ sweat” a household phrase. And though it is catchy, sometimes, it’s actually good for others to see you sweat.
I’m not talking about hygiene here, I’m talking about the exertion of effort.
A family I know went to see a VERY famous revival on Broadway this past Friday. The single comment I heard about the show was that the leading male “never broke a sweat… I could have done it better than he had.”
Especially if it’s a revival, and people already know what they’re coming for, it’s an actors job to sell it like it’s new, like it’s fresh, like it’s something the audience has never seen before and will never see the same way again!
Actors, you should look like professionals up there, but the audience still needs to see that you’re working — part of what they’re paying for is to see you!!!
Okay, okay, I know when it’s time to stop typing. I’m starting to work myself into a lather here…
