Of the top of my head: we are communicating emotion, and our communication
must be effective, our performance is the postman not the letter, what we
actually feel is a performance state which is rather more complex than just
feeling, or just vocalising. What an auditor gets out of it ought to be not
a suffering rigoletto (for instance) who would talk, not sing, etc., but a
separate category of stylized vicarious experience. We are storytellers
who, by the force and conviction of our performance evoke an emotional
resonance in an observer which is a disciplined and aesthetic analogue of
the kind of emotion a real-life event might produce. ok, i'll stop now. john
