Chapter 55 some meaningful suggestions

Although I can't give a certain rule about how to gesture when giving a speech, here I would like to give some meaningful suggestions for your reference: Don't repeat a gesture all the time; don't make short, jerky movements with your elbows; shoulder movements look much better on stage; don't end a gesture in a hurry; if you use your index finger to make your point, well, Let this gesture run through the clarification process and throughout, otherwise, it will be a common but serious mistake, which will distort the emphasis you want to emphasize, highlight the unimportant content, and dilute the important part.

When you give a sincere speech to a sincere audience, your gestures must be natural, but as you practice, if necessary, you can force yourself to use more gestures, which will promote you to be natural in the near future make the necessary gestures for speech. You should throw away your books, and definitely don't try to copy speech moves from books.In fact, your natural impulses are the most reliable source of mannerisms in speaking. Even if you've forgotten what we've just said about speeches and their mannerisms, keep this in mind: If a speaker is absorbed in what he has to say and is so eager that he forgets If he understands himself and speaks these principles naturally, his speech and actions, even if they have not been studied, will not be reprimanded and criticized.

If you still have doubts about this, you can go up to someone, knock him down, and you will find that when he stands up, he will give you a "speech" without fault. Here are a few sentences, which are the best exposition of the speech I have ever read: fill our casks; uncork it; Let's just wait and see what happens.
