Public Speaking Worksheet: Body Language

Public speaking lesson 4: Body language and gestures · Set 194 · 40 questions

Speaker's tip (Tall, still, open): Helpful: standing tall, feet steady and apart, relaxed shoulders, open hands, facing the audience, natural gestures. Distracting: slouching, swaying, arms crossed tightly, hands deep in pockets, fiddling, tapping your foot, your back to the audience. Gestures show a number, a size, something to look at or a feeling — they must match your words. When not gesturing, rest your hands at your sides.
