The Importance of Non-Verbal Communication in Public Speaking
Only 7% of in-person communications is related to the actual words used.
38% of communication is the result of Voice Tone Varying voice tone and pace adds interest to a speech. Positive voice tone is important in establishing a friendly relationship
with the audience. Body Language and Gesture account for 55% of
communications. Don’t stand rigidly at attention. Use gestures to mirror the meaning of
your words. Smile at the audience – otherwise they will think you are nervous or
dishonest. Eye Contact significantly increases the connection between the
speaker and the audience. Public speaking, like any skill, improves with practice.
Practice in front of a mirror to observe gestures and practice making eye contact.
Practice with a tape recorder to improve vary voice tone and pacing.
