Audience vs Espectators – What’s the difference?

If you’re a performer, it’s important to know the difference between an audience and spectators. If you don’t understand this distinction, then it can be easy to confuse your audience with spectators. This can lead to some serious problems in terms of how well your show is received by your intended audience.

A spectator is a non-participant.

A spectator is a non-participant. They are not actively involved in the performance, they are not a part of it and they are not listening or watching as it happens.

Spectators can be found at sporting events, concerts and other performances that take place in public places where people gather to watch something happening on stage or field (or court).

An audience member is someone who watches, listens or reads something that was created by someone else.

The difference between an audience member and a spectator is that the former is involved in the production of something, while the latter is not.

For example:

• An audience member is someone who watches, listens or reads something that was created by someone else. For example, you may attend plays at your local theater; listen to music on Spotify; watch movies at home on Netflix; read books on Amazon…etc. In each case, you’re partaking in a performance created by someone else (the actors/musicians/authors). This means that as an audience member your experience isn’t passive–you actively engage with what’s happening around you–but it also means that you aren’t involved in creating anything yourself.*

Audience-building is one of the most important tasks of any performer.

Audience-building is one of the most important tasks of any performer. It can be learned, practiced and improved upon.

Audience-building is a skill that you can learn if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to do so.

If you have an audience, they’re not just looking at you — they’re listening to you.

You have an audience when the people watching are paying attention to what you say. They’re listening to the words that come out of your mouth, and they’re looking at the body language and facial expressions that accompany those words.

Audience members aren’t just looking at you; they’re listening to what comes next in the performance. They’re actively engaged in a way that spectators aren’t necessarily engaged — spectators may be distracted by other things going on around them (like their phones) or simply not interested in what’s happening onstage at all

When you have an audience, they’re actively listening to what you say.

When you have an audience, they’re actively listening to what you say. They’re paying attention and engaged in the discussion.

When someone is a spectator, they may be watching but it’s not their primary focus. They could be thinking about other things or just daydreaming while watching the event taking place in front of them

Takeaway:

When you’re watching a movie, it’s easy to assume that everyone in the theater is an audience member. But if you look around and see some people talking during the movie or texting on their phones, then those are spectators–they’re not really paying attention to what’s going on in front of them.

You don’t have to be at home or in front of your TV screen for this distinction between spectators and audiences to matter; it also comes up when we talk about sports events where thousands of fans gather together at stadiums or arenas to watch their favorite teams compete against each other:

• Spectators are people who watch something created by someone else (e.g., TV shows). They’re not actively participating in making anything happen; they’re just passively observing what happens next instead of creating stuff themselves!
• Audiences are groups formed by gathering together around an event or performance so they can interact directly with artists/performers through applause/applause; often times there will be no communication between these two groups unless someone wants feedback from others after performing something creative themselves (e.”g., “How did I do?”).

The difference between an audience and spectators is that you can only have one. If someone’s watching your performance, they’re not in it. If someone is listening to what you have to say, then they’re not talking back at all. But if there are people out there who care about what we do? That’s amazing! We should be grateful for every person who comes into our lives and makes them better by sharing their own stories with us — because that means we all have an opportunity to learn something new together.
