Chapter 117 The posture language of the speech should be beautiful

In addition to relying on good language skills, the speech must also be supplemented by beautiful speech gestures.Posture language includes appearance, posture, expression, movement, etc. It is the speaker's comprehensive response ability of standing and sitting, eyes, gestures, body movements, and steps.As the so-called speech, speaking is audible language, giving people an auditory image; acting is silent language, giving people a visual image. "Speaking" without "acting", or "acting" without "speaking", cannot constitute the beauty of a speech. Only when both movement and stillness are combined organically can a complete speech be formed.

The speaker's demeanor, appearance, and demeanor should leave the best first impression on the audience.If you see a person who is neatly dressed, well-fitted, and has a natural expression, you will think that this person is careful and orderly, and then you will think that this person must have a sense of responsibility, and you will definitely have the initial liking in your heart. Feel, and also think that other people will have such and such abilities.If a person's initial image to you is disheveled and swearing, you will definitely conclude that he lacks moral concepts, and even associate other shortcomings of this person.

Once, the psychologist Shelley selected 68 volunteers to participate in the experiment at the University of Mossalist. The appearance, eloquence, and ability to understand and judge things of these candidates could not be faulted, but their appearance and demeanor were quite different. same. The 68 people solicited the opinions of 4 passers-by who did not know each other, in order to get their support.It turns out that the person with good manners is naturally more likely to win than the opponent who is not well-mannered. When giving a speech on stage, the appearance should not be sloppy and casual, but should be neat, generous, and graceful, but not overdressed.Clothes should be commensurate with one's status, and should not be too strange. The self-confidently elegant, well-groomed, well-dressed attire, even if eloquent, will never arouse a sense of admiration.

The speaker's external appearance, that is, appearance, clothing, and posture are directly felt by the audience, and it will directly affect the effect and even success of the speech.Audiences tend to compare the speaker's appearance and clothing with their own appearance and clothing, and use their own appearance, clothing, and posture as the criteria for judging the speaker.Therefore, the speaker should try to make his appearance and clothing as close or consistent as possible to the audience.If it is at an elegant banquet, the audience is luxuriously dressed, the speaker is disheveled, and the behavior is vulgar, it will be difficult to enter the elegant hall.However, in the boiling construction site, the appearance of suits and leather shoes on the stage will inevitably create a psychological distance from the audience.

Sandy Linfo, an expert in eloquence training, said: "Ninety-nine percent of the speeches do not need to take the speech. When a person picks up the speech and reads the 'words', the degree of people's trust in him is also reduced. The more the audience If you feel that you are talking to them, the effect of your speech will be better." It can be seen that whether or not to hold the speech when giving a speech is also the key to a person's speech image. Psychologists believe that people's attention is directional.When the stimulation of a certain exciting center of the cerebral cortex is deepened, the directivity of attention becomes stronger and stronger.That is to say, the more people focus their attention on something, the less attention they will have on other things.Therefore, if the speaker wants to "decorate" his appearance and demeanor before the scene, he must be separated from the speech to avoid its influence.In addition, when playing, you must maintain a calm and composed demeanor, with a firm and godly gaze.In this way, the audience will deepen the stimulation of the visual image in the "first impression", so that the directivity of people's attention will be strengthened.

The speaker's demeanor should be natural and generous, which refers to facial expressions and demeanor.In facial expressions, we should also pay attention to expressiveness with eyes and expressiveness with smiles.Eyes can express various complex emotions, and smiles can convey various psychological information.Used wisely, it will undoubtedly add color to the speech.In order to make the speech handy and easy to dispatch, it is the best strategy to get rid of the speech script.Simply put, well-prepared speeches are necessary, but scripted presentations on stage are too tedious.Therefore, you should be familiar with the speech draft by heart. When you speak, you can use it as a basis and not be bound by it, so that you can receive good speech results.

Speech is not just a performance with one mouth, but also needs the help of facial expressions, eyes, gestures, etc. Only when the voice, color, posture, and emotion are comprehensive and complement each other can it be called a superior speech.
