Method Lesson 6: Speaking with Gestures

Public speaking is a way for you to build confidence in the way you speak and to feel comfortable speaking in front of a group of people. Anyone can achieve this confidence with the right tools and practice.

We’ve designed eight classes that pinpoint eight different speaking methods that will help you achieve success in public speaking. This class encompasses the sixth of eight speaking methods in the Ovation Public Speaking tutorial. The subject is Speaking with Gestures.

The class is designed to aid you in speaking with gestures, so that you can grab the attention of the audience and hold it. This class will benefit any student who wants to excel at public speaking at school or also any business professionals who want to excel and build their career.

Highlights of this course:

• Using Planned Gestures

• Harnessing Unplanned Gestures

• Using Facial Gestures

• Using Descriptive Gestures

• Using Emphatic Gestures

• Avoiding the Dangers of Gestures

Includes the following:

• Over 40 minutes of Instructor Video

• Interactive Practice Sessions

• Skill building exercises

The way this class is structured is by dividing it into two parts. Each part will have video lectures first. Throughout the video lectures there are interactive practice sessions, practical suggestions, and tips on ways you can practice and improve for each point. You are invited to pause the video during the lecture and practice the point. At the end of each part, there are a series of exercises to help you practice and gain experience.

This comprehensive course can be taken at the pace of the student. It requires a basic understanding of English, and a desire to improve your speaking ability.
