Gestures/MannerismsDifficult to teach:
Think about where you can use them deliberately
Watch others Watch yourself Be aware of where you gesture and if it is
needed or is distracting

Facial Expressions and Eyes Most noticed yet most complex part of the
body. Researchers found:
At least 8 positions of eyebrows and forehead 8 more for eyes and eyelids 10 for lower face
Surprise, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Happiness, and Sadness (plus blends of all these)

after your presentation) Watch yourself Watch others Posture as you sit in desks; discussion
![Page 15: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Practice Deliberate Choices with Nonverbals
Decide what you want to communicate and use nonverbals to help you to:
Repeat
Substitute
Complement
Accent
Regulate
Contradict
![Page 16: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Repeat Saying “Go North about two blocks” and
then pointing north.
Be careful that gestures don’t become too literal: “I can hear the bird” and then putting hand to the ear.
(Repeat nonverbals should be used sparingly)
![Page 17: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Substitute Replacing the language with a gesture.
“What’s Up?” Shrug of the shoulders as a response.
![Page 18: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Complement Nonverbal behavior can conveys
relationship between characters: Low voice, hesitation, shuffling feet, head bowed
(embarrassment; inferior)
Many complementing nonverbals consist of illustrators: Scratching head Snapping fingers

Accent
Especially important in Public Address
Gesturing on an idea Pausing before an important idea or point
of the script Stressing certain words with your voice
“It was your idea” “It was your idea”
![Page 20: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Regulate Especially apparent in Duo—using
intonation to show interruption; wanting to gain the floor; turning the floor over to the other character.
Rising and falling patterns to help move the speech; show conclusion; vary delivery. . .

Nonverbals in Listening
Nonverbals are important in speaking; but also in listening.
Why?
![Page 22: The Power of Nonverbals in Competitive Speech “You Can’t Not Communicate” Try it... -Jen McCarty Eastview Speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649e7e5503460f94b82491/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nonverbals in ListeningRespect your audience. People will never
laugh, or cry, or hear what you have to say if you speak as if they're not there. A speech is never about the speaker, it's about the audience and the entertainment or persuasion of that audience. If you respect your audience, they will respect and respond to you. You are at their mercy, never your own.”

Nonverbals in Listening What are your nonverbals as you listen to
your competitors?
Where are your eyes? What is your posture? Where are your hands? Do you nod? Smile? Or otherwise
encourage the speaker?
