Nobody can. Your read of your own tape is measuring how the room felt, and the room is not what they are watching.

This happens so often it might be the rule rather than the exception. The ones where I felt clever are the ones that never land.

The tapes you hate are often the loose ones. You stopped protecting the performance and just did it.
