Body Gestures

• Eye Contact            Using natural, direct eye
  contact helps your audience feel 
            connected to you. 
• Gestures           Gestures can help you paint
  pictures with words, but make sure they
  don't get in the way, and they are natural.

Body Gestures

• Enthusiasm           Be enthusiastic. If you
  don't care, why should your audience? Your
  enthusiasm builds your audience's
  enthusiasm.
• Articulation          Articulate your words
  clearly so the members of your audience will
   understand you. 

15
Body Gestures

• Breathe          Breathing helps you control
  nervousness. It also gives you time to
  gather your thoughts. Remember that a pause
  can be used to provide emphasis. 
  Posture          Correct posture conveys
  confidence. 

16
Body Gestures

• Tone          The tone of your voice can create
  or change a mood.  Dress          Dress
  for success. Be neat and professional.
  Don't wear loud accessories that will
  distract members of the audience. 

17
Body Gestures

• Language          Use proper language and be
  careful not to use non- words and
  fillers such as "um" and "uh" too often. 
• Smile          A smile will not only make you
  look and feel better, but also make your
  audience more receptive
