Involuntary they may be. But that doesn't mean uncontrollable. That's what performers do. They perform. I may not be able to get the look I want on stage, but it's for lack of practise, not because it's impossible.
ie you don't practice becuae it doesn't and shouldn't matter... I read some people say practice in front of a mirror... (thats form classical musicians...)
Frankly I need to spend more time practicins what I play more than how I look playing it.
Shouldn't matter? Possibly. Doesn't matter? Consider a classical concert guitarist wearing a fake human-skin face mask and huge toothy gauntlets, tight leather pants, running around the auditorium as he or she plays a classical guitar built to look like it mated with a T-Rex. Now consider a metal guitarist sitting on a stool with a foot on the foot stand, a corduroy jacket or a cocktail dress, playing from a music stand. I don't think you'd argue that fans of either style wouldn't have a lot of difficulty getting past the presentation to take in the great performance.
Like it or not, if you want to get your music across, you have to present it in an appealing way. And that's an act of sorts. So women can act any part that men can.
