Rigga, fuck basic coms. @
Dono clear this up for me please, unless you are a trained navy seal, psychologist or mental case there are ALWAYS signs of how you feel. Like when you lie your brow twitches: it's uncontrollable, or if you're attracted to someone your eyes widen; it's uncontrollable, if you're nervous you sweat, it's uncontrollable. I could go on and on. Almost all emotions are the same, you can't hide anything completely as there are physiological factors that are out with conscious control.
As for how I'd cope battling live? I've performed as part of a band and on my own for years so I think I'd fare well, I have bars too. Accent would likely be an issue though ha.
