Vocal Expression


A teacher is talking and playing with her small children
Her voice is higher than usual
She uses inflection a lot, to keep them interested
She makes her voice very calm and soft when she wants them to relax
She starts talking to her husband, and her tone changes
Her voice becomes more normal pitch
She sounds thoughtful as she speaks
When she gets excited, her voice raises

Listening


A man and woman walking side by side talking
As he talks he looks straight ahead
She turns her head to look at him while he talks
When she talks he looks at her, and their eyes meet for the first time
They sit down, and turn slightly toward each other
Both of them tilt their heads as they listen, like they are paying attention

Expression


n  The girl is mad, her mouth looks tight and her face pinched.

n  The guy is discouraged, his mouth droops, and he hangs his head, making it  hard to see his eyes.

When the girl talks, she lifts her eyebrows and keeps her mouth drawn tight.

n  The guy is bewildered, his mouth is twisted and he looks sideways, as she scolds him his face actually seems to fall, his entire face relaxes, and he looks away.
n   
n  They are interrupted, and the man is obviously irritated, he pinches his mouth, but attempts to smile. 

The girl's expression shows relief, she relaxes and smiles a real smile, using her eyes.
