Physical Delivery: Gesture and Posture

Gestures and posture are important elements of physical delivery in public speaking. Gestures should be purposeful and reinforce the verbal message, while too many or too few gestures can distract from the presentation. Good posture involves standing tall with shoulders relaxed rather than too stiff or relaxed. Speakers should project sincerity through enthusiastic mannerisms and actions that affirm their message.
