Tips and Techniques:
1. Remove “Noisy” Movements.
For many people, there is as much to be gained from removing
nervous and distracting movements
as there is from adding conscious
gestures. It may seem counter-intuitive, but this is “addition by
subtraction.”
2. Avoid “Forcing” Gestures into Your Speech.
3. Record aVideo of Yourself Speaking.
