Public speaking
How you dress depends on who your listener will be. But the general principle is that
you want to dress professionally to make a good impression. Make sure to observe
good grooming and hygiene rules too.
Use Gestures (But Don't Overdo)
Natural movement during a speech is a sign of an effective public speaker. Hand
gestures and even taking a few steps across the stage can be a good public speaking
techniques as long as they're natural, purposeful, and not overdone.
correct stance and proper behavior when
delivering a speech
Try to make every gesture natural, appropriate, and consistent both with the ideas in
the message and with your own personality. Be natural, relaxed, and reasonable. Try
to appear calm, poised, and confident before and after your speech.

2. Posture
If you have confident body language and pretend you feel powerful, you're more
likely to actually feel it. Stand straight with your shoulders back and feet shoulder
width apart. Imagine your shoulders opening up from one another so that they rest
centrally. Place your hands either side of your body so that you can easily make hand
gestures when you need to. Face the audience as much as possible. If you're in a large
room, tilt your whole body towards different parts of the audience so everyone feels
included.

When you speak in public, a certainn amount of space on the stage is yours by right.
Move around the stage in a way that shows you are comfortable in the spotlight. Show
your listeners they can have confidence in what you are telling them by commanding
the space around you.

People depend on facial expressions to interpret motives and emotions so an audience
will respond better to you if you are expressive. Emphasize your expressions so that
everyone in the audience can interpret meaning from them. Your face should reflect
the emotions within your stories.
