Body language, Don't you just love this one? We do say in a test intended to say in the past that 70% of what we say is in our body language. crazy thing is when we just reading a book, there is no one running around on the page doing the different actions. So what is body language when it comes to public speaking is just another tool that you will use to communicate your message and to remember to go and listen to the one on communication and what is the full circle of communication. Our intent is to communicate a message to our audience. So we have to now decide how we going to use all our tools and one of our props that we will learn is body, and the way we stand gives us a good indication how we feeling inside.

And also the audience is going to be reading it. So we are very talented as people to read people's body language. So if I'm gonna be saying, Yeah, I, I fully understand you and I agree with you, yeah, really do our facial expressions, the way we standing is a huge communication tool. So if I'm saying to people, Look, guys, you know what? I'm not telling you a lot I have never learned in my life before. I promise you I'm not.

You're reading that somewhere along the line. I am not telling the truth. I'm trying to hide something. So my body language is a massive communication tool. But as a public speaker, we learn to use our body language as part of the communication. Our hands are very, very important the way we use our hands.

Now remember, if you're standing on stage, and there's a big distance between you and your audience, you can't do this. Hi guys. How you doing? And you keep it taut. We can't keep it tight, it's got to be big expressions and kind of be ran and use your whole stage, backwards and forwards. And you can bounce up and down.

And as you see, as I'm using my body, I'm communicating certain things. I can't say I, you know, the guy was so excited, really was, and he jumped up and down and it was really exciting day for him. If your body is not coming to the party, people are gonna notice that you're nervous. So inside we can be really, really freaked out. But on the outside, we're going to use our skills as we've learned in one on one, and we're going to stand like this and Good Feet placement, just off the shoulders, keep your hands in front of you. And from there, we're going to talk, the risky thing about your hands is if you're not used to it, you're going to come up with all these gestures and your hands are going to be doing things that you just don't want them to do.

So you have to keep them under control. So when we are learning We tend to do stuff that kind of communicates to people that we are kind of nervous. And all these things are showing people that we're not in control. What I would teach is you've got to set for 30 seconds, let's rephrase that. Let's stand for 30 seconds without moving without falling asleep without laughing without smiling, and we have to control our body. So for me who's been doing it for a very long time, I know where my hands are.

One of the things I tend to do is if I am nervous, I'm going to bounce and I'll do this and I say, Yeah, when I go through a costing that's when I'm really nervous for acting, is I'll say No, sir. Okay, what do you want me to do? Hi, my name is Shawn colored, and I'm bouncing in correct. So what I've got to do is if I'm going to bounce, it's something that I've chosen to do. sided. That was a decision that I chose now be carefully I've used, I am so excited.

What am I showing you my Body language, it's not really good if I'm a good macho guy. So my voice inflection, my body language must correspond with what I'm trying to say, Have you got that is something that you can believe, and we use all these things to be able to communicate. Now, when you come closer, your face is something that's very, very important. When you go learn about spending some time in front of the mirror, face time, he will learn that you need to understand that your face has to really, really get alongside, in being part of the tool in the Holland sambal. As you can see, I'm keeping my legs still, my feet are still straight, and I'm not bouncing up and down. And I'm not leaning to the side.

I am in control of what's happening. But now it's in my face. I need to speak I need to appeal to you as an audience. I want you to listen, as I bring my hands up to my ears. I want you to listen. Tell me please tell me What you actually mean?

I need to know, we use all our hands, and our facial movements and our legs included, to be able to communicate with our body language. You know what, sometimes I can stand in store. And now what I say is going to be taking 95% of the communication. But then there's going to be times when my body is going to be taken off type at all that is needed to communicate. Yeah, so I'm not going to say that body language is the most important. I'm going to say to you that body language, facial language, your voice and your inflections, all of that together, are important to communicate your heart that you have for the people.

Remember that in public speaking 102 working on it, visual aids. Your body is actually part of a visual aid that you could possibly use to communicate your message. Till next time
