How to Gesture Effectively
• Gestures are reflections of every
speaker's individual personality
• What's right for one speaker may
not be right for another; however,
the following six rules apply to
anyone who seeks to become a
dynamic effective speaker.
Rule 1
Respond naturally to what you
think, feel, and see. - It's natural
for you to gesture, and it's unnatural
for you not to. If you inhibit your
impulse to gesture, you will
probably become tense.
Rule 2
Create the condition for gesturing,
not the gesture - When you speak,
you should be totally involved in
communicating-not thinking about
your hands. Your gestures should be
motivated by the content of your
presentation.
Rule 3
Suit the action to the word and the
occasion - Your visual and verbal
messages must function as partners
in communicating the same thought
or feeling
•Don't overdo the gesturing.
Rule 4
Make your gestures convincing -
Your gestures should be lively and
distinct if they are to convey the
intended impressions. Effective
gestures are vigorous enough to be
convincing yet slow enough and
broad enough to be clearly visible
without being overpowering.
Rule 5
Make your gestures smooth and
well timed - Every gesture has
three parts:
✓ The Approach - Your body begins
to move in anticipation.
✓The Stroke - The gesture itself.
✓ The Return - This brings your
body back to a balanced posture.
Rule 6
Make natural, spontaneous gesturing
a habit- The first step in becoming adept
at gesturing is to determine what, if
anything, you are doing now. The best
way to discover this is to videotape
yourself. The camcorder is completely
truthful and unforgiving. If you want to
become a better speaker, you need to
make the camcorder your best friend.
Rule 6 (cont)
• Videotape yourself and identify your
bad habits, then work at eliminating
them, one at a time. You will need
to continue to record yourself and
evaluate your progress if you
expect to eliminate all your
distracting mannerisms.
Rule 6 (cont)
• To improve gestures, practice - but
never during a speech. Practice
gesturing while speaking informally
to friends, family member, and
coworkers.
