saying, “Many average speakers hide their vulnerability behind a posture of detachment. But wise speakers include others in their remarks. You can easily bring in your audience with such words as "you," "your," "we," "us," "our," and "let's." A simple gesture, such as extending your hand toward listeners, can reinforce this sense of a joint venture between speaker and listeners” (Harris 55). Harris then goes on to talk about how rhetorical questions are important by stating that “Rhetorical…

Some musicians make the sign of the horns gesture with their hands to celebrate rock and roll. However, the gesture is known for mimicking devil horns.

After he calls his friends “clowns,” the stage directions read, “He says this in a gay and gushing frenzy…turning his eyes, until all of a sudden he no longer sees Berthold.” Henry IV is using his facial features to illustrate his crazed mind and…

On a stage, you must fill the space with your voice and gestures, so they're typically broader than in film.
