@sebwhatever@actuallyautistic They get into the show, sit in their box the lights go down shoot relaxes her face and says Tell me when it's 5 minutes from the end of the act

Gravity pulls our face down
Just to get to smile requires reaction to gravity & a paralyzed face, two reasons our smiles can be forced.

Lightly open is the way
A slight o with the lips everything relaxed so that gravity fills that area up with water instead of tension making it harsh lines that take time to undo
It's pure logistics for me because if I don't and I get cramped in an angry face, I can't sing sometimes for months
