My stories were all very positive and upbeat so that positive facial expression was important to maintain throughout the performance. I attempted to use my face to emphasis and engage. To drive a point I tried to crease my brows and narrow my eyes a bit. When telling exciting information or making a little joke, I widened my eyes and lifted my eyebrows to open up my face.
