Lying 101, Monday Second Period

"Eye contact," Lito said at the beginning of today's class. "It is very important, but also a little bit tricky. Too much, and you unnerve people. Too little, and you seem automatically dishonest, although some people with conditions such as autism automatically avoid eye contact even when they are being perfectly truthful. And then, when you are lying to a large audience--that is to say, acting--there are tricks to making everyone feel like you are making eye contact with them, personally, even though obviously this is impossible--and remember, when acting to a camera, look at the lens, not the blinking light, though your eyes are automatically drawn to it. There are other key body language components to seeming honest, but we'll get to those another week. This week we focus on eye contact. So, pair up, and practice lying to your partner while looking them square in the eye. It may be more difficult than you think." He expected at least one person to get the giggles.

She might be reluctant to admit it, but Lucille found exercises in lying quite entertaining. Not exactly looking for someone to team up with, she wouldn't say no if anyone asked.

Look people in the eye and lie? Why Mr. Lito, it was like you wrote this exercise just for Ada!

It was gonna be like taking candy from a baby. And its mother. Fun.
