SPB: Has performing on stage affected how you interact with people (has it made you more
or less social)?
 
R.E. Seraphin: Definitely! I suffer from the double whammy of introversion and performance anxiety, and have never fully gotten accustomed to large crowds. Weirdly, though, I rarely experience stage fright when performing to folks I don’t know (i.e. on tour) but totally meltdown when I play local shows. Maybe it’s because I actually have to interact or engage with my friends and family, who might be honest with me if I crap the bed. I don’t even like telling extended family or co-workers I play music because the ensuing conversation could make me uncomfortable. So, I’d say I’m more outgoing with people I don’t know and more reserved with loved ones. A perfectly sensible development!
