Taylor Mali reciting his poem "What Teachers Make"

[matthewdryden]

The dead audience makes the pauses seem so awkward - and it only makes me laugh more.

[BosPercussion]

vYes but this is also lacking in emotion as his act has gone longer - it was much more impassioned in the first video

[ieatglue44]

Well, as a performer, I can attest that a lack of reaction from the audience is wholly discouraging.

[BosPercussion]

Unfortunately, based on other videos I see this as becoming more of a trend however, not j ust a result of audience reaction.

[ieatglue44]

Yeah. I think it's just not new to him anymore, so it's hard for him to put the same amount of real emotion into it.
