This
aspect of communication is of significance and should however be critically
considered. It covers what is done aside the speaking (delivering the speech)
which equally carries a message to the general public. Gestures take the
non-verbal form of communication and they convey a lot of messages to the
audience listening. This is to say, the public derive and give diverse meaning
to whatever gesture that is put up by the speaker. Gestures can take the form
of body language and facial expressions.
BODY LANGUAGE
The
movement of the body and its positioning counts a lot. When speaking to the
public, it is advisable to be well composed by having good and engaging body composure/
posture. For example; when delivering the message, let the public follow what
is being communicated by not having a divided attention as a result of the
language the body gives. Be stable in speaking and don’t giggle. It is okay to
make movements when speaking but it should not be overly done because it may
distract the audience. Again, use the hands to express yourself where necessary
but this should be moderately and accurately done.
FACIAL EXPRESSION
In
as much as delivering the speech and checking on the body language matters, the
facial expression plays a key role. How well you look and carry your expression
on the face has an effect on the audiences understanding of the message and the
mood they are put in. Put up a pleasing and appealing face to attract the
audience. When there is a need to laugh, let it out controllably and when there
is a need to challenge the public with regard to the message, let it be
expressed on the face.
In
addition to this, smiles are very rich in speaking to the public. In view of
this, put up a smile when the need arise and do not frown. When you smile, it
tells the audience that you are very proud to have them seated to listen to you
and get the indepth of the message. For this reason, smiling should be ultimate
when looking at facial expression.
These
two aspects of gestures should however be taken into consideration and well
managed for effective flow of communication.
