2022.03.07 – 0431 – Face-To-Face Gestures When Talking Face-To-Mic The ‘father of modern public speaking’ Dale Carnegie, wrote, “A person under the influence of his feelings projects the real self, acting naturally and spontaneously. A speaker who is interested will usually be interesting”. If you are interested in your subject, believe in what you are saying, and want to share your message with others, your physical movements will come from within and be appropriate to what you’re saying. And if you use ‘face-to-face’ gestures even when you’re ‘face-to-mic’ and can’t actually see those you’re talking to, then you will start to sound a bit more natural. There were non-verbal signals before there was language. After all, animals manage to negotiate their entire social lives by using non-verbal signals. They make friends, find mates, rear young, decide hierarchies and work together in groups, by using non-verbal signals.Similarly, Stone Age man would tell others about the best hunting grounds, teach them how to make weapons, fight and appease neighbouring tribes and so on without language as we know it, but with grunts and gestures instead.
