I think you were asking the wrong question. Of course they could hear you. They just couldn't hear you as a discrete sound. You weren't there to be noticed, but to be part of a musical texture. So the conductor and the audience members were applying different criteria. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
