Hey Dan- My 1st commercial acting teacher said the #1 thing people look at are eyebrows! 🤨😟😲 I'll always remember that! Also there is a guy named John Sudol (you've probably heard of him) who teaches all about the language of the face. ie. how 1 slight movement of the eyebrow, eye, mouth, lips, turning of the head can say way more than words. It's quite fascinating! I love all that psychology, human behavior stuff. I loved Chad Everett in Medical Center too!👨‍⚕️ Thank you for your nuggets. I can see why you get cast alot. You're the everyday, simple, everyone knows a guy like you guy. You would be the guy at the bbq who flips the burgers!🍔😊

[@ActingCareerExpert]

Thanks so very much Sharon! Yeah the psychology of our body and face language is fascinating and can speak volumes for sure. Thanks so much for watching :)

Good advice for film auditions. I do mostly theatre and now have to submit taped auditions, which is a bit tricky because they still want to see more of a stage performance even though you’re on tape. So you still have to be bigger than you would be for a film but you can’t go as big as you actually do on stage. Fun:)

that's funny cus when he puts his eyebrows, I can tell he's confused and eyebrows up, look so surprised. When people are confused, they are negative so eyebrows naturally goes down...

[@ActingCareerExpert]

That's true, but for commercials especially, they want happy faces.

[@thegaminglamb7567]

Very interesting. I also am not aware of my facial expressions that much as I tend to keep it cool. I believe that humanity will go into some kind of cosmic rebirth from the advanced AI that we created and I think that Americans are the masters of facial expressions, as American AI analyze facial expressions, and evolve their style of facial expressions are of the style of American Disney cartoons always very expressful . Anime on the other hand don't have as many facial expressions and I see it in Japanese people too they don't have very distinct facial expressions as much as Americans. Americans are masters of facial expressions but they lack the perfect style of art that I believe Japanese people have in the 70s 80s and 90s era. They may not have a lot of facial expressions in their cartoons but overall their style of art in that era is unmatched. I also kind of find it a little goofy that American Disney cartoons have too many facial expressions lol they should work on less goofy and more coolness like Japanese manga and anime. I think American comic book art didn't really turn awesome until they got a lot of influences from the 80s and early 90s manga and anime and thus we have cool characters like spawn, and even Batman looks better than the 60s version which was laughable lol 😂 I'd say Americans are masters of humor wit charisma charm and facial expressions and Japanese masters of coolness not to mention their cool ninjutsu , perfectionism and awesome art of the 80s and 90s.
