asistente al acto

This is a phrase from a book I'm reading in Spanish. I also have the English version, and there is uses "audience member". Is this the correct translation?

The "translation" tab doesn't help me on this one.

I have just finished this chapter of DaVinci Code and barely moving on; in context I understood it as "...somebody from the audience made an unrehearsed move of handing over the magazine..." - babalou, Jan 21, 2011
That's where I got the quote. I've found that at times, the translation is slightly different - not just idiomatically, but a different translation altogether. - DR1960, Jan 21, 2011

it´s a possible translation

Other choices:

audience member -->

miembro del público (de la obra de teatro)

una persona del público presente

alguien del público

Spanish version: "Un asistente al acto me ha hecho llegar una presentación."
English version: "An audience member has just handed me an introduction."

Background: A speaker is being introduced to an audience, and the emcee is about to read something from an article that was just given her.

Thanks in advance for you help.

DR, I don't see anything wrong with this, Medit has given you 'member of the audience' it makes sense. - margaretbl, Jan 21, 2011

Mediterrunio - Thanks for your help, but I have the Spanish - I need an English translation of the phrase in the post title.
