body language on speech
here's how you can incorporate appropriate body language into your speeches :
- start with eye contact. being prepared, having control of your message is a prerequisite for being able to project and establish a bond with the audience. don't just pass your gaze throughout the room; try to focus on individual listeners and create a bond with them by looking them directly in the eyes for five to 10 second
- smile!
- express emotion with your facial muscles. for inspiration, take a look at the the human face, a bbc documentary narrated by john cleese of monty phyton fame, now available on dvd
- avoid distracting mannerisms. have a friend watch as you practice and look for nervous expressions such as fidgeting, twitching, lip biting, key jigling, hands in pockets or behind the back
- telling a story? highlight the action verbs and look for ways to act out one or more parts. speaking about marathon running? run a few steps
- stay true to your personality. don't copy gestures from a book or other speaker, but respond naturally to what you feel and say
- make gestures convincing. every hand gesture should be total body movement that starts from the shoulder never from the elbow. half-hearted gestures look artificial
- vary your speaking position by moving from one spot on the stage to another. for example, walk o the other side of the stage as you move to a new topic or move toward the audience as you ask a question

conquer the fears of speaking
here are some suggestions for the speaker to conquer his or her fears of speaking.
- be prepared. there is no substitute for preparation. practice your speech, revise, and then practice again
- pick out friendly faces to speak to. these pleasant expressions will inspire you and help you relax
- think positive things about your content. one of my favorite thoughts is, "this information will be helpful to this audience" repeat this statement to yourself several times before you speak
- have a great opening line that you know will grab the attention of your audience.
- pause before you begin to speak as you make eye contact with those friendly faces
- include a personal experience early in you speech. you are most comfortable relating a story
