BODY LANGUAGE

Here's how you can incorporate appropriate body language into you speeches :

• Start with eye contact. Being prepared - having control of your message - is a prerequisite for being able to project and establish a bond with audience. Don't just pass your gaze throughout the room;try to focus on individual listeners and create a bond with them by looking them directly in the eyes for five to ten minutes.
• Smile !
• Express emotion with your facial muscles. For inspiration, take a look in the The Human Face, a BBC documentary  narrated by John Cleese of Monty Python fame, now available on DVD.
• Avoid distracting mannerism. Have a friend watch as you practice and look for nervous expressions such as fidgeting, twitching, lip biting, key jingling, hands in pockets or behind the back.
• Telling a story. Highlight the action verbs and look for ways to act out one or more parts. Speaking about marathon running? Run a few steps.
• Stay true to your personality.  Don't copy gestures from a book or other speaker, but respond naturally to what you feel and say.
• Make gestures convincing. Every hand gesture should be total body movement that starts from the shoulders - never from the elbow. Half-hearted gestures look artificial.
• Vary your speaking position by moving from one spot on the stage to another. For example, walk to the other side of the stage as you move to a new topic or move toward the audience as you ask a question.
