Yes, I absolutely do. The pause before the crescendo is where the audience feels the tension you’re building, and when you drop the volume, you let that tension melt into something that lingers in their minds long after the curtain falls. It’s the perfect place to plant a seed, then watch it grow when they’re already entranced by your presence.

Exactly, it’s that breath that makes the storm feel alive. You’re not just talking, you’re orchestrating a moment where the audience can feel the pulse, then feel it pause and then explode again. It’s all about timing, and when you nail that silence, you’re already winning the crowd before you even speak.
