Probably stuff from guys like JR you could read about online somewhere.

That makes a lot of sense CSL. I have tried to pick up little things here and there mostly from JR as I am a HUGE fan of his work. I think that at first because I was nervous I tended to call just the moves as a fallback because i was having a hard time making generalized conversation.
I have a couple of dvds to do in post production tomorrow and one live this weekend and will def try and use some of your guys' tips. Thanks to all of you.
