  1. ^^
    high pitched, whine type of sound, completely unnatural rhythm, does she have botox? and like Isreel said kind of looks like she smiles

  2. The purpose of sadness is to help humans adjust to loss of all kinds like the death of a spouse and should make us less enthusiastic however in this video she seems to be desperately holding back her laughter with her eyes closed as many people do when they laugh uncontrollably. I would like to see what her laugh looks like and compare.

  3. No, her emotions doesn’t correspond to what she is saying, she is definetely not sad, her mouth and eye-brows aren’t dropping and she is trying to hard to pretend that she will cry, you can notice the effort she is making.

  4. no it doesn’t match however if you watch nothing with her forehead/eyebrows move at all. My guess would be potential botox has been done recently. Here voice doesn’t actually sound as if she is about to cry either its more shake like anxiety over sadness. would need other footage for a baseline in it.
