Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3930: Emmanuel Macron, Hacking, and Anger - Body Language and Emotional Intelligence (PHOTOS)

After files from his campaign were recently attacked - in a "massive and coordinated hacking operation" - and subsequently posted on social media, it's not at all surprising that Emmanuel Macron would be angry.

Most all people, who are otherwise socially adept and with good interpersonal skills, are able to accurately characterize others' emotions when they're present at higher levels. However, when these same emotions are displayed in mild or even in moderate amounts - it's amazing just how often people misidentify - or are even completely oblivious to them.

Note Emmanuel Macron's lower eyelids - for they exhibit significantly increased tension. This is rarely noted by all but the most astute observers.

His eyebrows are also lowered and slightly drawn together.

The French Presidential Candidate's mid-face is also significantly contracted. This is particularly evident in the area above his upper lip - as well as with the flaring of his nostrils.

His lips are horizontally-stretched, thinned and rolled inward - to such a degree that his lower lip has disappeared and only the thinnest remnant of his upper lip remains visible.

Because his jaw is also clenched, the area below his lower lip is bulging outward. Although from this angle it's difficult to seen, his jaw is also jutting forward. This mandibular clenching also has the secondary effect of dimpling the anterior surface of his chin.

This photo is an excellent example of a nonverbal cluster of moderate-level anger displays. In the real-world, don't be the next person to gloss-over or under-appreciate such emotions.

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2632: "The Sound of Music", Carrie Underwood and a Key Body Language Limiting Element (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

 

Carrie Underwood starred in a live rendition of the classic, "The Sound of Music" (Musical, Rogers and Hammerstein, 1959 and the five time Oscar Winning Film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, 1965).

Ms. Underwood is an acclaimed and highly awarded singer; however she has come under significant criticism regarding her acting in this live "Sound of Music" performance.

The use of Botox significantly reduces the ability of the face to express emotion.

Acting, of course, is not simply remembering and delivering a line.
Many forget and/or dramatically undervalue body language when it comes to acting. 

Vocal qualities (paralanguage) also are not nearly as easy replicate on demand as some would imply.

When a person is acting well - their paralanguage, verbal and nonverbal communication are all congruent. When any one of these are out of alignment it stands out dramatically - and it's labeled as bad acting.

Julia Roberts has been famously quoted, "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office." The same phenomenon holds true for acting.

Whether a multiple academy award winner, a rookie or somewhere in between, the paralyzing effect of Botox dramatically reduces the ability to display the body language necessary for adequate, let alone excellent acting.

In all four of these examples here, Ms. Underwood's forehead and mid-face are very significantly hypo-reactive. Anyone who has serious aspirations towards acting should strongly consider not using Botox.
