- try to maintain each expression for 10 seconds, even if other people lose it!
- try to challenge yourself further, you can try to manage links between each emotion convincingly!
Try out the following:
- waiting for something
- confusion
- physical ache or pain
- thinking about something deeply
- bored
- something’s caught my attention
- quietly amused
- trying to remember something, but failing
- remembering something painful
- remembering something happily
- frustration
- anger
- elation
- trying to hide your irritation
- scheming, or devising a plan
- despair
- verge of tears
- relief
Now let’s try some more complex techniques, still not involving words:
- Guffaw (short laugh)
- Sniff, perhaps to show awkwardness
- Clearing throat, perhaps to show you’re trying to clear your thoughts or perhaps to get attention
- Sigh, perhaps from tiredness or perhaps because you’re relieved or frustrated
- Muttering in panic, irritation or disbelief
- Mmmm, perhaps thinking, perhaps ‘agreeing with yourself’ or confirming your own thoughts
