How to Mime Driving a Car

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Teri Lynne and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we are going show you how to drive a car, miming. So that's why I'm seated here on a chair. A stool, a chair. Anything will work for this. You really again you want to imagine that you're really sitting in the car. Once you're already seated you want to do all the things that you normally would if you're about to drive your car. Of course you want to buckle up. Make sure you're all strapped in. Grab your keys. Put them in the ignition. I'm going to be driving a standard I think for this one. It makes it a little more interesting. I'm going to turn on the car. Throw it into reverse. Check my, maybe adjust my mirror here. You want to imagine just the right level of your steering wheel. Look behind you. Maybe a little reverse. Okay, let?s throw it into first and start driving. Again you want to keep that steering wheel pictured. Most people don't drive moving the steering wheel but it is just a little mime trick we use. If you really drove like this it wouldn't be good. Again if you want to picture that you?re shifting gears. Going a little faster. Might want to turn on the radio. Think of all the specific things. Turn a different station. This is the one I like. Okay. I think we've gotten where we need to go here. So that is how you show miming a car and driving a car here on Expert Village."
