On-Camera Acting and The Language of the Face

I just received the video below from a student of mine, which is all about the genuine happy smile vs other types of smiles. This video is a good example of why a lot of actor’s smiling headshots comes across as either disingenuous, hesitant, fearful or sad. If your smile isn’t genuine at best it won’t have the impact on the viewer you would like, at worst, it could be costing you an audition.
