PHYSICAL
FEATURES OF A
SPEAKER
1. Appearance
The speaker’s
appearance should be
appealing to the
audience. The
audience in fact likes
speakers who are
similar to them.
2. Movement
All the movements
on the stage should be
voluntary and
warranted. Nervousness
can cause involuntary
movements which can
distress both the speaker
and the audience.
3. Posture
A confident
speaker stands straight
with his arms well
relaxed. Nervous
speakers sprawl on the
podium and lean
against the wall. There
is always fear and
tension.
4. Facial
Expressions
The expression
on the speaker’s face
determines the
audience’s closeness
to him. Warm smile
and confident look
take the audience
close to the speaker.
5. Eye Contact
It is one of the most
important gestures.
It not only increases
the speaker’s direct
contact with the
audience but also
increases their
interest in their
speech.
7. Articulation
It is the right
pronunciation of all
the words. The
people who suffer
stage fright commit
the mistake of
deletion, addition,
adding extra parts
towards slurring.
6. Volume
It is confirmed
by the number of
the audience but it
should be loud
enough for the
speech to reach
everybody.
8. Time
Time is an
important factor in
Speech delivery. At the
outset, the speaker
should know the
amount of time given
for his speech and
prepare accordingly.
9. Language
