Infinity Loop Head Movement
Move your head in an infinity symbol pattern to create fluid, dynamic head movements that showcase different angles of your face, making your VTuber model more engaging.

Lip Shimmy
Pucker your lips and move them side to side. This can be used to exaggerate reactions, like when you think something is 'H' (likely meaning 'hot' or 'hilarious'), and adds a playful element to your expressions.

The Big Smile
A small smile doesn't move the eyes, but a big smile makes the eyes squint, which brightens the smile and makes it more genuine and appealing. This is the most important technique for connecting with viewers.
