As long as the crowd make noise, I will be in my element, whether it is booing or cheering. The main thing is I get a reaction of some kind.
Actually, I think the average voice is like 70 percent tone and 30 percent noise. My voice is 95 percent noise.
I don't know what caused my tinnitus, but I started to become aware of a very low ringing noise in my right ear, which is now constantly there.
In spite of all this noise, customers are still definitely buying in North America, and they're really, really buying internationally.
I have an ear monitor to block outside noise when I'm performing. It makes it easier. But sometimes I like to take the ear monitor off and listen to the craziness going on.
