# Training your first expression

Once you have trained Neutral you are ready to train your first Facial Expression. For best results, you want to hold that expression for the entire duration of the training.

To train a Facial Expression, click on Train next to the expression you would like to train. You will then be asked to hold that expression for 8 seconds. During this time you will see a face with that expression.
