Nonverbal communication is one of the most challenging, and impactful, aspects of public speaking. Each nonverbal gesture, no matter how insignificant it may seem, sends a signal to your audience. This can be mere eye contact, the number of times you glance at them, the number of times you blink, your facial expression, posture, etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The profession usually views communication as four separate major categories:<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Visual nonverbal communication \u2013 includes kinesics<\/strong> (study of body motion); chronemics<\/strong> (study of nonverbal use of time) and haptics <\/strong>(communication by touch)<\/li>
  2. Audio\u2011nonverbal communication \u2013 includes sound and paralanguage (speech), silence and music (instrumental)<\/li>
  3. Combined audio-visual communication \u2013 includes action\u2011based language and expressions of culture (mimics, dance, etc.)<\/li>
  4. Olfactory nonverbal communication<\/li><\/ol>

    Appropriately used, nonverbal signals can increase clarity, interest and trust in your performance or presentation. The aspects of nonverbal communication can be trained to create patterns in your public appearance. To control nonverbal communication in certain situations (especially stressful ones), you need thorough and proper training as part of media or public appearance training.<\/p>

    60% of all human communication is nonverbal body language; 30% is your tone, so that means 90% of what you\u2019re saying isn\u2019t coming out of your mouth.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

    Psychologist Albert Mehrabian \u2013 in his research on communication and the importance of verbal and nonverbal messages \u2013 laid out today\u2019s generally accepted norms on how we view verbal and nonverbal communication.\n\nHis scientific studies show the hierarchy within human communication, as shown in the Mehrabian communication model:<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    For nonverbal communication in your public performance to be as good as possible, pay attention to the following tips:<\/p>

    1. Step up boldly!<\/strong><\/p>

    Keep in mind that your key audience is going to closely examine your facial expressions from the moment they see you. This is why it is important to project appropriate nonverbal messages even before you make you introductions. From the moment you get to the place where you are going to be performing, display a natural and honest smile, and project confidence by keeping your posture open and upright.<\/p>

    2. Make contact!<\/strong><\/p>

    People will remember you better if you shake hands their when you meet them. This is how you establish friendly relations. Also, if you know the name of the one you are shaking hands with, speak to them directly by name. Establishing appropriate physical contact and saying the name of the other person is a powerful combination. They will help you build a lasting connection with your audience more easily.<\/p>

    3. Shake things up!<\/strong><\/p>

    During your performance, focus on the nonverbal communication within the audience itself. Watching for their reactions is another important factor. Take note of their body language. If some have crossed their legs or locked their fingers, then you started to lose their attention. This is a signal for you to change the course for your speech or presentation.<\/p>

    4. Be mindful of eye contact!<\/strong><\/p>

    Make eye contact. Common advice from nonverbal communication experts is that appropriate eye contact lasts just long enough to make out the colour of the other person\u2019s eyes. Eye contact deepens your connection with the audience.<\/p>
