Grrr Face

So it was back this summer (which feels like a thousand years ago, already!) - that I took Sassy Von Straddler's excellent workshop hosted by the excellent Revolver Studios in St.Cloud, MN.

Sassy was personable and warm and had us do some exercises to get rid of bad vibes and energy.

She also stressed the importance of using facial dynamics. That part of it really struck home for me. Sure, I can plaster on a smile... but I hadn't really thought of trying to change it up much.

And what I discovered is- that I don't have a good "serious" or "intense", or "Grr" - face.

I know we already talked about using Film Characters as models... so to get down some kind of a non-smile "present" face I liked this scene from none other than "Monsters University"
