2022.03.06 – 0430 – ‘Using Your Hands To Help Your Voice’
Hold on, this is supposed to be all about talking, with your mouth, isn’t it?
Well yes and no. Talking also involves the rest of your body. Certainly, in breathing you use your diaphragm and throat … but talking also involves your hands, your head – in fact a lot of the rest of the body too: posture and gesture go hand in hand (!) to affect your vocal delivery.
Earlier we looked at how to imagine another person in the room with you, as a way of presenting more conversationally.
It’s not just picturing someone in your mind that can help though, you can also use this ‘body behaviour’: the gestures you would normally use when speaking face-to-face.
