I actually find that, when I do a performance that I find is mediocre feedback that says, “That was good.” is much worse than feedback that says, “This specific thing was bad” and it’s even better if it says, “This specific thing was bad and here’s a way to fix it/compensate”. Specific critique is more helpful to me than general critique—no matter the positive or negative implications. Things like “Do this more” “Stop doing this” and “Do this instead of that” are, to me the most helpful kinds of feedback. (The question of which comments to execute and how to execute each is my problem to deal with though)
