Manufacture it all you want but you’ll oscillate between this awkward “Desired State VGR” vs. “Natural VGR”, only to default towards your natural self. Why? Over time, like anything, you’ll get change.

They’re pros, it’s just a hobby for the rest of us 🙂 “Natural” personality is often just a controlled stress response to being on stage. We can’t all have the acting range of day Hugh Laurie but we can have *some* fun based on the event mood.
