BODY

In the world of public speaking, there are more than the spoken words.

Nonverbal communication, which includes gestures, facial expressions, posture, and tone

of voice. It plays an important role in delivering your message and how your message

was received and understood by your audience. Non-verbal communication (NVC) is the

process of communication through sending and receiving wordless cues between people.

According to Samovar, et al. nonverbal communication involves those nonverbal stimuli

in a communication setting that are generated by both the source [speaker] and his or her

use of the environment and that have potential message value for the source or receiver

[listener]. Basically it is sending and receiving messages in a variety of ways without the

use of verbal codes (words). It is both intentional and unintentional. Most speakers /

listeners are not conscious of this. These signals can be intentional, like when you

practiced your hand gestures for a speech, or unintentional, like when you’re nervous.

Non-verbal communication is important because it helps us understand how

someone feels with their body language, whether they’re happy, sad, scared, angry, or

even when they feel confident. It conveys feelings that words cannot. It helps us to

understand more what the speaker is trying to convey, making the message clearer and

easier to understand, and also helps us to read situations. Having the ability to understand

non-verbal communication is a skill that can help us in many situations.


Types of Non-verbal communication

Facial Expressions

With people’s facial expressions, we can see their emotions; we can see in their

eyes when they feel happy, sad, or scared. Even a kid could understand when someone

is angry just by looking at their face.

Gestures

Gestures are the hand, arms, or body motions that we all do to express emotions,

like when we wave our hand to say hi or goodbye to someone, point, or like shaking our

head to disagree at something or even give a thumbs up that means good job.

Eye contact

Is a non-verbal cue where people look into each other’s eyes. Looking in the

eyes, especially when someone is talking, shows attention; it shows that you’re

interested. Eye contact can also show confidence, while avoiding it can mean shyness or

discomfort.

Posture

Is a non-verbal cue on how a person holds their body while standing, sitting, or

moving. A good posture shows confidence, while a bad posture might show tiredness or

lack of interest.
Body movement

Refers to the movement of a person’s body; it’s how we move our body; it

includes gestures or walking. Like other non-verbal cues, this can also show expressions

or intentions. For example, when we walk quickly or run fast, it can show excitement or

urgency.

Appearance

This refers to how a person looks; it includes clothing, hairstyles, and body

language. The way you look can influence how others perceive someone. For example,

a neat appearance can be mean formal, while casual clothing might indicate relaxation.

Non-verbal communication is important in public speaking because it helps the

speaker to share his/her thoughts more effectively. It’s the facial expressions, gestures,

eye contact, and body language that help the speaker connect with his/her audience. A

person’s posture, gestures, or movements, and your location on the stage are all

important if you want to deliver lively and engaging speech, as well as the way you moved

through the stage. It will help you to keep your audience attention and engaged

throughout your speech. Non-verbal cues can help you to create a strong stage presence.

It can help you deliver the message effectively; it helps create a positive impression on

your audience. Additionally, it allows the speaker to express emotions that words cannot

express.
