With age, I am finally letting go of my insecurities and acting more natural. The closest I can think of a time when it is a good time to put on a false front was when my friends and I got into a confrontation. I am normally passive, but something snapped am I displayed an unnatural aggression. That aggression somehow diffused the situation and we avoided getting physical. Other than that, I totally agree with not giving off that sleazy salesman vibe. Good Luck with the rest of the challenge!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-62769616734866780932014-04-02T22:15:58.888-07:002014-04-02T22:15:58.888-07:00This turned into one heck of a contest.

I actually read it yesterday, but I was at the coffee shop, and wanted to have a listen to the two versions of Act Naturally, so here I am at my own kitchen table, relaxing, listening, and reading blogs. I vote for Buck Owens. I'm sure that's who I heard it from first, as a kid. My dad is a huge fan of country, Buck, and Hee Haw!<br /><a href="http://www.playoffthepage.com" rel="nofollow">Play off the Page</a><br />Mary Aalgaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051735579638637382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22688425341277865432014-04-02T09:51:46.995-07:002014-04-02T09:51:46.995-07:00Beatles all the way, for sure.

Definitely not quality singing on this one for them. Buck takes the gold and intrigues me.<br /><br />I think I'm pretty much myself around anyone. I might try to smile more if I was in a bad mood earlier or something. But that's just to be polite. Maybe I might have been more like that in my teens. Well, not really. I was just more shy in my early teens than trying to be someone else. Though I did try little things but lots of teens do that.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-65550945263883296032014-04-02T00:11:07.183-07:002014-04-02T00:11:07.183-07:00Hi, I liked the blog, its great to connect and fol...Hi, I liked the blog, its great to connect and follow anyone involved in AtoZ<br />http://aimingforapublishingdeal.blogspot.co.uk/<br />Twitter: WriterBizWomanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398872718646932305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-66210458124198343582014-04-01T23:27:32.348-07:002014-04-01T23:27:32.348-07:00Hmm I think Buck Owens.

I think it's probably because I as a Beatles fan, but also because he actually did become a big star - bigger than Buck Owens - and he was rather a funny fellow.<br />And you are right about acting naturally in marketing and other real situations.
