When giving a speech, the rational use of gestures can make your speech richer and more energetic. Imagine how you would feel if your hands were motionless and your limbs were not harmonious when you were giving a speech. But I don't advise you to imitate other people's gestures, because that's not you, what you do is what others do. You will find that other people's body movements are so harmonious, but you look so unnatural, so I suggest you be yourself. You just need to master some principles and taboos and gradually form your own symbolic gestures.

How to hold the microphone in one hand and the microphone in the other?

If there is a lecture table, you might as well put it on the table naturally and make some action-assisted speeches when appropriate.

If there is no podium, you can hold the speech in your hand or roll it up. What you don't need to see is the feeling of holding it in your hand.

Or feel that there are too many actions, you can take nothing and improvise, which is not bad.

in addition

Naturally drooping, refers to standing posture. But not too hard.

Add some movements when necessary, but not too much.

The whole should give people a calm feeling.

How to place gestures during a speech?

First, natural and generous.

How to grasp? For example, holding the microphone in both hands will appear very stingy and stiff, obviously not generous enough. Try to open your arms. You can exaggerate when training privately. You'll be a little nervous when you come on stage, maybe just right.

Second, don't do taboo actions.

1. Hold your arm with both hands.

Behind your hands

3. Insert the bag with both hands or one hand.

Matters needing attention

Some people may ask, why do big coffees like Jobs, Ma Yun and Yu make these so-called taboo actions in their speeches? My idea is this: I do individual coaching training, and I never advise students to follow the traditional speaking standards. What time is it now? But as a speaker, standing on the stage, on the one hand, you must be able to attract the audience, even if it is beautiful, even if it is voice ... I don't think too many people will listen to Mr. Ma Yun's speech just to see his face value. What's that for? Personal influence is more about the content of his speech, so if your speech is wonderful enough, you don't have to pay too much attention to those so-called bullshit standards. I am a special lecturer in China Auto Parts Business School. I remember many trainers appeared on the stage before the exam and during the trial, including me. What impressed me the most was an old man. When she tried to give a lecture, she kept watching PPT. She didn't look like a mature trainer, let alone present any gestures and other standards. The result is very popular. Why? The content is good! So, from this perspective, when you make a speech, you should find out what your attraction is. Of course, this is not your own imagination, just listen to the judgment of the market, and it takes several market tests to sum it up.

If you must train your speech gestures, here is a suggestion: you can find a speech with many numbers (1- 10), speak each number and make a gesture representing that number at the same time. When you do it, don't just lie on your chest, exaggerate, reach out, and so on. Repeat in front of the mirror until you find it.
