- 15. Projecting the right image Your posture and form speaks more about you than your material – more imporatantly, it speaks to your belief in the material. Posture • Use your whole upper body • Avoid rocking, two-stance-swaps, patterns • Never turn away from audience Back • Straight up, as if sitting on a chair • The straighter it is, the taller you will appear, the more confident • Don’t lean left, right, or backwards. Forwards is okay
- 16. Can you hear me now? Empirical testing has shown that a strong voice will always be heard over a weak one, even if the stronger voice is not really saying anything.
- 17. eyes contact Your eyes say more about you than any other single part of your body during a speech. • Maintain strong eye contact with the entire room • Don’t neglect certain portions • Keep them emotional • Show that you are vested in your message
