Your body language and physical delivery are just as important as the content of your speech. Speakers should be aware of their posture, body movements, facial expressions, and eye contact. Distracting or unnecessary gestures can take away from the message. The best gestures are natural and complement the words, emotions, and ideas being conveyed. Recording yourself can help identify movements that need removing so the full potential of "addition by subtraction" can be achieved.

Non verbal communication Article
Non-verbal communication conveys messages through facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture, tone of voice and other behaviors aside from words. It represents around 65% of all communication. There are seven major types of non-verbal communication: kinesics (body language), oculesics (eye contact), paralinguistics (voice), proxemics (space), artifacts (objects), chronemics (time) and haptics (touch). Understanding and properly using non-verbal communication helps build better relationships and express true meaning.

Body language
Body language, facial expressions, posture, and movement are important nonverbal forms of communication. Facial expressions and body posture can convey emotions and messages without words. It is important for speakers to be conscious of how they use their body language so it reinforces their intended message. Good posture conveys self-confidence while relaxed movements keep the audience engaged. Nonverbal communication plays a key role in effectively getting a point across.

Body language is an important form of nonverbal communication in the workplace. Some key aspects of body language discussed in the document include: eye contact, which can be used to show respect, interest or dominance; facial expressions, which convey emotions; posture, as standing up straight signals confidence while slouching shows disinterest; gestures to emphasize points or show enthusiasm; and how leg crossing can indicate comfort levels. Being aware of one's own body language is important, as nonverbal cues can build relationships or undermine messages depending on how they are used in different workplace situations.
Public speaking
Gestures and body language are important tools in public speaking to emphasize points and convey sincerity and enthusiasm. Speakers should stand with confidence with feet slightly apart and make eye contact with the audience. Appropriate gestures used naturally can reinforce the message, while distracting movements or those that contradict the message should be avoided. Facial expressions also clearly communicate attitudes and emotions.

Speech mechanism
This document outlines the five stages of the speaking process: breathing, phonation, resonation, articulation.
The breathing stage involves inhaling air through the lungs and diaphragm. Phonation is when voice is produced through the vocal cords in the larynx as air passes through.

Finally, articulation is when specific sounds are formed through movements of the articulators like the lips, teeth, and tongue at points of articulation in the mouth.
Public speaking
Public speaking involves addressing a large audience formally on a topic of general interest. It lacks the feedback and spontaneity of face-to-face communication due to the physical and psychological distance between the speaker and audience. Effective public speaking requires preparation including knowing the audience, choosing a topic, determining the purpose, collecting supporting materials, outlining the speech, and writing and practicing the delivery. Proper use of body language like posture, gestures, facial expressions and eye contact is important to complement the message during a public speaking presentation.

Your body speaks
- 2. Is your body dead when you speak, or does your constant motion give your audience headaches?
- 3. Does your face signal fear or does it signal excitement for your topic?
- 4. Do your hands vibrate, or do they punctuate your words?
- 5. Your must complement your message with your body during delivery. Specifically, be aware of your:
- 6. posture Body movement Facial expressions Eye contact
- 8. 1. Remove “Noisy” Movements.
- 9. For many people, there is as much to be gained from removing nervous and distracting movements as there is from adding conscious gestures. It may seem counter-intuitive, but this is “addition by subtraction.”
- 10. 2. Avoid “Forcing” Gestures into Your Speech
- 11. The best way to avoid forcing hand and arms gestures is to try to strike an even balance between the other forms of physical gestures — eye contact, facial expressions, posture, or whole body movements. For example, if you convey an important emotion with your facial expression, your arms can relax to your sides because they “aren’t needed.”
- 12. 3. Record Video of Yourself Speaking
- 13. The best way to discover any distracting movements is to watch yourself delivering a speech with the volume turned off.
