  1. Nonverbal Components of Delivery Personal Appearance, Eye Contact, Facial Expression, Posture, and Proxemics

  2. Personal Appearance • Way you dress, groom, and present yourself physically • Speaker’s dress should be appropriate to the occasion • Wear attire that is neither too revealing nor too restricting • Personal appearance is a complex combination of social norms, cultural and generational influences, and personal style

  3. Eye Contact • Visual contact with another person’s eyes • Eye contact’s functions include: way to greet and acknowledge the audience before the speech begins, way to gauge and keep our audience’s interest, and way to communicate sincerity and honesty • For effective eye contact: make eye contact with many people in the audience rather than a few friendly faces and look with interest

  4. Facial Expression • Your face plays a central role in communicating with your audience, letting them know your attitudes, emotional states, and inner thoughts • Facial expression is the movement of your eyes, eyebrows, and mouth to convey reactions and emotions • Can use facial expressions to communicate your own interest in your topic, your agreement or disagreement with a point, your openness to an idea, and your feeling about an issue

  5. Posture • Way we position and carry our bodies • People perceived as confident and relaxed or tense and insecure based on posture • Nervousness can affect our posture

  6. Gestures • Movements, usually of the hands but sometimes the entire body, that express meaning and emotion or offer clarity to a message • Gestures should be as natural as possible • Vary your gestures, use gestures that fit your message, and stay relaxed

  7. Proxemics • The use of space during communication • Be mindful of how far away you are from your audience as well as how elevated you are from them • The farther away you are, the stronger the idea of separation

  8. Rehearsing Your Speech Remember, the more you practice, the more natural you will sound.

  9. Rehearsing Your Speech • Practice giving your speech aloud using your speaking outline • Practice all stories, quotations, statistics, and other evidence until you can deliver them exactly as you want • When you are comfortable with your material, practice your speech in front of a mirror

  10. Rehearsing Your Speech • Now tape your speech and listen for vocal variety • Practice your speech again, incorporating the verbal and nonverbal changes you worked out in steps 1 through 4 • Now practice a few times in front of a friend • Stage a dress rehearsal
