Rule number one: there must be gestures, but not too many.
For business people, artists and ordinary people, gestures have little to do with it. Just do it according to your habits. But like government officials or leaders of state-owned enterprises, gestures are generally less. As a government official, if you use too many gestures to speak, people will think that you are bared your teeth and will be considered inappropriate. So to a certain extent, the number of gestures will be limited by identity. However, no matter who you are, don't use too many gestures when you speak. Too many gestures will distract the audience. Many people have the problem of too many gestures when giving speeches, and even many speech training lecturers have this problem when giving lectures, so everyone must remember that there must be gestures, but not too many.
The second type: 1 1 professional gestures. Next, I will share with you 1 1 kinds of necessary professional gestures.
The first gesture: the greeting gesture.
At the beginning, the host introduced you to the stage, and you can make this professional gesture of waving one arm when you come to the stage. This gesture has three functions: greeting, thanks and goodbye, so this gesture can be used not only at the beginning of greeting, but also at the end of speech. When using this gesture, you should pay attention to one thing: when waving, the direction of your hand should be consistent with the direction of your body, head and eyes. If you wave in that direction, you should point your body, head and eyes in that direction, otherwise it is impolite.
The second gesture: gesture with or without microphone.
When a lady doesn't have a microphone, she can wrap four fingers of one hand outside, just like the etiquette lady in this photo.
When a person doesn't have a microphone, he can stretch out his hands, put his fingers together and be perpendicular to his thumb, just like Mr. Tang Shikai, a member of the board of directors of Mercedes-Benz. The right-angle notches of the two hands are buckled together, one hand is outside and the other hand is inside, and the four fingers of the hand inside naturally extend outward.
Gesture with a microphone
There are two main points in the gesture when holding the microphone. First of all, try to hold the microphone with one hand and gesture with the other hand when speaking; Second, when holding the microphone, hold it in the middle and lower part of the microphone. Don't hold it too tightly or too tightly. Be natural and put your thumb behind the microphone.
The third gesture: the open gesture
If you don't have a microphone in your hand and don't have any special gestures, you can open your hands and make an open gesture like Luo Yonghao. Big names like Jobs, Luo Yonghao and Lei Jun all like to use this gesture, and it seems that this style is popular in recent years' mobile phone brand launches. If you don't have a microphone in your hand, I suggest you use this open gesture instead of interlocking your hands.
The fourth gesture: emphasis
An emphatic gesture
If you need to emphasize something in your speech, or ask the audience to pay special attention to a certain detail, you can put your thumb and forefinger together and gesture like Premier Li Keqiang in this picture. The main function of this gesture is to emphasize.
In addition to the gesture of thumb and forefinger together to show emphasis, you can also show emphasis as Premier Wen Jiabao did, with the forefinger extended, the other four fingers together, the arm straight, and the forefinger pointing in the air. The fifth gesture: invite
Invitation gesture
When you want to invite an audience to answer or ask questions in the interactive session of the speech, you can extend a palm-up hand like the gesture of the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this picture and make an invitation. This gesture is often used in press conferences and press conferences, and friends who often watch news should often see this gesture. The sixth gesture: Remind to be quiet.
A gesture to remind silence.
At the speech scene, if someone is on the phone, chatting, or talking after interaction, you can pause and say nothing, put your index finger to your lips and show them this gesture. I'm sure they will be quiet soon. The seventh gesture: Thank you.
A gesture of thanks.
At the end of the speech, we can thank the audience with the gesture of crossing our hands. This gesture is usually used at the end of a speech, but some people also use this gesture to thank the host when they go on stage. The eighth gesture: encourage
An encouraging gesture
Sometimes there are very few people sitting in the first two rows at the speech site, or the speaker wants to invite the audience to play games on stage and doesn't respond. At this point, the speaker can use this gesture in the picture to encourage the audience to sit in front or participate in the interaction on the stage. The ninth gesture: praise
A gesture of praise
When expressing affirmation or praise for something, or praising the audience's answer, you can use a thumbs-up gesture. This gesture usually means strength, affirmation, praise, first and so on. The tenth gesture: self-confidence
A confident gesture
When expressing confidence in something, you can use the gesture of making a fist in the picture. This gesture is full of power, symbolizing faith, confidence, strength and affirmation. Eleventh gesture: Numbers
number gestures
When talking about the corresponding numbers in the speech, adding the corresponding digital gestures can deepen the audience's impression and interest. This 1 1 professional gesture basically covers the gestures needed in the speech. As long as everyone can use it freely, your speech will be very effective.
The third aspect: don't be artificial. Gestures must be natural. In addition to too many gestures, gestures should also be taboo to appear artificial. If you want to make the audience feel that your gestures are not artificial, you should let go of your mind after you go on stage, don't be afraid of your hands and feet, practice more at ordinary times, practice naturally, and then integrate into your speech, and naturally no one will think that your gestures are very artificial.
