Skills of using gestures in speech contest: gesture categories
One is the indicating gesture. This kind of gesture is used to express concrete real images, which can be divided into two categories: real finger and virtual finger. Truth means that the speaker's gestures really refer to the people or things or directions present, and they are all in the audience's sight. Such as "I" or "you", "here" or "above", "these" or "this" and so on. Virtual refers to what the speaker and audience can't see. For example, "a long time ago" and "far away". Common empty fingers can be accompanied by words such as "his", "then" and "behind". Indicating gestures are clear, and there is no sense of color, which is easier to do.
The second is to simulate gestures. The characteristic of using gestures to describe shapes is "seeking the likeness of God, not the likeness". For example, put your hands together and make pears into a big ball to express your true feelings. Simulated gestures are rich in information, sublimate feelings and have certain exaggerated colors.
The third is lyrical gestures. This gesture is used most frequently in speeches. For example: clap your hands when you are excited; Wave your fist when you are angry; Rub your hands when you are impatient; Cut hard when you are decisive. Lyric gesture is an abstract gesture with strong feelings.
The fourth is to get used to gestures. Any speaker has some habitual gestures, only he has them, others don't, and the meaning of gestures is not clear and fixed. With the different content of speech, it embodies different meanings.
Speech gesture is precious in nature and should not be affected; Coordination is important, and it is forbidden to take off the order; It is important to simplify and avoid flooding; It is important to change, so don't be rigid; You should consider the overall situation and avoid tightening before loosening or loosening before tightening.
