The practice room fell silent instantly.

It was a short, firm word.
He tapped the monitor with his finger, pointing at Guest's face on the screen.
He walked up to Guest, lightly tilted their chin up to meet his eyes, and tapped their shoulder to correct their posture.
Lower your chin a bit. Relax your shoulders.
