Isn't it distracting a little bit like it clean? I love this month so you see how the reaction so I'm always setting it up and then ah listening the reaction and then firing and if I'm not listening like ah funny reaction or something sometimes I'll give them something to do sometimes I just won't make any sense whatsoever and just see what they do chin down a little bit hold that tilted this way it's what the oh no no don't cross your arms like this does that matter doesn't matter what you say not really not if you're trying to get a laughter you know not if you're trying to get laughter you khun do physicality things you know we'll do that later the chin down slightly hold that gorgeous tilted head this way a little bit good now I'm doing positive reinforcement right chin down a little bit relax your adenoids you're holding a lot of tension there I told this woman one of my clients I told like years ago I said you're holding a lot of tension in your ear lobes can you relax them? She came back three years later she said not remember my ear lobes have a lot of tension so like I'm messing people up with my crap turn your body this way let's go turn actually no turn your money back that way now go knows that way let me see that's the independent body head movement hold that den in right here flip your hair off that shoulder a little bit better work your nostrils this way towards the she now, until they head this way a little bit, stand up straight, good, hold that that's it good, give me a little brown pressure. Brow pressure knows that might. Well, you just would pressure, you're brown together. Look, look here, home that tilt the head, les beautiful. Do we get a shebang, and over there, we get one. We got some good stuff, right? All right, cool. Can we thank him for helping me out?
