Everyone has different degrees of facial control.

So I have a pretty high degree of facial control just simply because I've activated those muscles for a long time.

I learned microexpressions, I believe, in 2010.

And so I've been practicing activating my facial muscles.

So the first thing to do is sit in front of the mirror, and this is a good exercise for everyone,

and look at your face at rest.

What is your face doing?

Do your corners of your mouth point downwards?

That means you're probably at rest going to look sad, right?

because we have

that upside down you are they neutral great neutral are you

lucky enough to have your corners of your lips angled up people probably think

that you're always positive or peppy

so that's the first thing to look at second do you have any vertical lines between your eyebrows

that means that people probably will see you as angry even

if you're not so those are the two really big ones

that you want to see at rest

when you're at rest look at the other micro expressions are you using any other facial activation

so for example i have a friend who always defaults to the disgust micro expression.

I've talked about him before.

He tends to think like this.

So he always looks disgusted even if he's not.

That's just his default expression.

So look at your face at rest.

That's the very first thing to do.

Then see if you can activate your muscles to counter it.

Some people can, some people can't.

So if you can make your mouth more upturned and that feels natural to you, great.

You might want to do that only when you're in public settings where you want people to socialize with you.

It would be exhausting to do that all the time.

But if you're networking or you're, you know, in the break room and you want people to approach you, then you might want to activate that.

Like, so for example, I think I shared this a couple of years ago, I was on a podcast and they were like,

Oh, can we turn on the video?

That was an audio only podcast, but I was like, Oh sure.

You know, he's like, I love to see you while we talk, even though it's only the audio.

I was like, no problem.

I turned on the video and it was, I regret it so much because I was so focused on the audio.

I was letting my face be neutral.

Well, my face neutral looks sad.

And so after, you know, during the interview, he was like, you know, I know people can't see you right now, but you look really bored.

And I was like, I am not bored, sir.

I am just listening very intently to you

and not thinking about my face because I was putting all of my energy into the verbal answers.

And it was that moment that I was like, wow, when the stakes matter in an interview,

socializing, it is worth it if you can to put energy into shaping your face into neutral or positive.

So can you slightly upturn your mouth?

Can you relax your eyebrows?

I need to open my eyes a little bit wider.

I have very large lids.

I've been told this by makeup artists.

And so when I'm at rest, I look a little more hooded.

That's why he thought I looked bored is I was, that's just how I rest.

So see if you can activate those, see if it's comfortable for you.

And then it's a muscle.

So literally work on those one at of time.

See if you can just build those muscles up so that when you're in a public setting or a situation with stakes,

you're able to turn those on.

It is a muscle thing.

So it's just like biceps or triceps.

You sometimes work it out a little bit before it works.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
