Lesson

ps3-5. Gaze not glance

As you speak, make eye contact with individuals in the audience. And make sure you cover the width of the room. Don't just address one side of the room. Show that you are including everyone. Talk to someone, don't just glance at them.
​
​Above: This speech took place in a conference room with the audience close at hand.


Note how the speaker looks around the room while speaking. He is talking directly to individuals one at a time, not to a group.

​Note also how he covers left and right and will continue to do this throughout his speech

Practice

Place three chairs around the room. Practice a one-two minute speech on a subject you already know: what you are wearing, what you had for dinner last night.

While talking, make eye contact with the chairs as if they were people in the audience. But do not just glance. Speak to them.

Complete a sentence before moving on to another member of the audience.

​Be sure to speak to someone left and right, front and back.
