Andrea Seigel
There is no reason why a guitar player makes the guitar-playing faces. It doesn't help you play guitar. You've not improved your skills.

I had no inclination to perform as a kid. I was a shy child - I always had my nose in a library book. I didn't start acting until I went to college. Once I started, it seemed to fit like a glove.
