Body Language And The Importance Of It
In nowadays, people don’t understand the importance of body language. Some people even underestimate its importance. They think body language is something that is just something along the way and that the most important thing for your performance is your knowledge and facts. Wrong folks. Body language is the most important part of your performance. You will also need to know the subject and the facts I mean that is a normal thing, but a wrong body language could damage your whole performance or presentation. So to make everything perfect, you will need to master your body language. There are few tips that you can learn, and of course, we will teach you about them, that you can apply to your presentations or performances.
General tips
First, you will need to make sure that you are calm. People can see if you are nervous and that gives away your insecurity. We all get a little scared when facing a crowd or a big audience, and that is a normal thing, but keep in mind that you need to say calm and not to give away that you are nervous. Always remember to smile. People will focus on your smile, and even if you make some mistakes, it won’t be a big of a deal. Don’t talk too fast because people will think that you are talking without an understanding of those words or subjects. And of course, don’t talk too slow because people will get bored. Make sure that you talk moderately. Always keep your eyes in the direct contact with the audience if you are trying to make a point. When you are just talking about some general things, look beyond the crowd and in the distance.
Some other tips to consider
Always make sure that you are dressed appropriately and not vulgar. You need to look like a professional. Make sure that you don’t mumble and make sure that your words are clear. Your tone should be secure and loud enough so they can hear you but that doesn’t’ mean that you should be loud to pop someone’s ear drums.
The Techniques For Influencing Other People
First of all, we know that there are numerous techniques that we can use to influence other people to get some personal gain. It is not the subject we will be talking about in this text. We are talking about the influence which will make you look better in the eyes of others. The techniques we will talk about can be used when you are giving a live speech, or you are giving a presentation in front of a crowd. Psychology is a great branch of science and people are using these tricks to go easier and to feel more confident and secure when having a performance. So to be more secure and confident in your body gesture and body language, you should apply these techniques.
Tips and tricks
Try, for example, not to talk too fast. First people will think that you are scared and insecure and second, people will think that you are not a professional and that you are not so smart and of course that you have learned all those things without understanding them. As you can see this is a very bad impression and not to mention a very bad first impression. And we all know that a bad first impression is hard to improve. So make sure that you are talking moderately. Not too fast and not to slow. If you talk too slow, people will think that you are probably going to die. No, but seriously people will be bored, and their concentration will not be high. You want them completely focused and interested. Your body language is also very important.
Body language and more
Ok so to have a great performance, you will need to make sure that your body language is nice. You will need to make sure that you don’t wave your hands a lot and make sure that you don’t make sudden moves. People might think that something is wrong with you. Mentally of course. So you need to stay calm and make direct eye contact.
How To Get Ready?
Ok so you have your first presentation in front of many people, and you are getting scared. Well, that is ok, and it is not a big deal. This reaction is normal. You might feel a little insecure. This reaction is also normal. You want to make a good first impression, and you want those people to get the impression that you are serious and professional. This is also a normal reaction and a way of thinking. But then, you start to talk, and you begin with the presentation and all of a sudden, you start to mumble, and your words just don’t come out in a way they should come out. So what is the problem? Well, first there is insecurity, and next, we have body language and the frequency of your voice. All these things will affect your presentation.
What to do?
Ok so to make your presentation good and not to make a fool out of yourself, you will need to make sure that you are well prepared for this event. You will need to take a map, a visual map that you will remember when you begin to talk. You will remember those areas or maps of your subjects, and this is very easy. So to be certain that you will not forget something, draw a square map of things you want to talk about and remember them visually. You will be good to go. The next important thing to remember is that you will need to practice in front of a mirror. This is how people see you, and this is the way to correct your body language which is the most important part of any performance.
Anything else?
That is all about the theoretical part. Now comes the practical part. Practice a million times in front of a mirror. Make sure that you don’t rush into things. Your words need to be clear, and it is vital that you don’t swallow those words. You will look very insecure. The goal is to talk about the right speed. Not too fast, not too slow. It is better, however, to talk slower than faster because people will be able to focus on your words.
