Energy comes out a vocal variety, gestures, and facial expressions helping you show passion and gain positive listener response. Energy is also a great mask effectively covering up nervousness and other distractions.
Eye Contact- maintain eye contact with individual audience members long enough to complete you thought (3-5 seconds), rather than shifting your gaze from side to side.
Hand Gestures- use natural movements of your arms, hands and body to emphasize your mainpoints. Aviod actions such as crossing arms or putting your hands on your hips.
Facial Expressions- Use smiles, frowns, and other varied expressions to keep your audience engaged. Take tips from stage actors: the bigger the audience the bigger your expressions.
Movement- walk around the stage! Please don't stand still. It isn't natural for humans to be statues.
Nonwords- "like, ummmm...., uhhh" it shows the audience that you did not practice.
