"Hi I'm Mark Wenzel with Expert Village. I'm going to show you how to do mime. First of all you see that the face is painted. Now the face is a very important part of it, now making the faces is a good part. First of all happy, a big smile, sad (pull corners of down & eyes of the corner), surprise is a great face. You make your eyes real wide make your mouth a circle. Now another one watch my chin from the side, if you pull the chin back and open your eyes, shrug your shoulders a little bit and it makes you look like you're afraid. That says a snob is someone who has their nose in the air. Well instead of putting your nose in the air stretch your upper lip down. It even actually makes you talk funnier when you do that "Welcome to Expert Village". Remember on Gilligan's Island the rich guy (imitating) they talk like that, so it completely gives you with that face a happy or a sad, it will completely give you a whole attitude that will color your mime performance. Stay tune and we'll give you some more episodes of mime right after this."
