Gestures

listened to public speaker, Sable Schultz. Schultz spoke about on the transgender experience at the Community College of Aurora in the Rotunda. This paper critiques Shultz’s speech in terms of: her engagement with her audience, use of power point, gestures and body movement, style, disfluencies, organization, as well as her introduction, main points, body, stance, manner, conclusion, and her overall performance. To cut to the chase, after reviewing Mrs. Shultz’s speech, it must be said that…

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…

i. Grip – Slatkin often uses a light grip with the handle of the baton between his thumb and index finger. However, he has held the handle in the palm of his hand, while his thumb and index finger gripped the baton. Occasionally, his pinky finger pops out during cues and powerful sections of the movement. ii. Wrist motion – Slatkin has a natural wrist motion as he conducts and he uses his wrist the most when cuing big entrances. In addition, Slatkin stresses his wrist motion whenever he…

imagery can serve as an incentive for risky behavior. Artists like Lady Gaga and Kanye West claim the devil as their own to drive sales and promotions by using shock value. 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. Other satanic symbols like pentagrams and the number 666 show up in music videos. In the earlier years these images appeared in rock and roll videos and album covers.…

On a stage, you must fill the space with your voice and gestures, so they're typically broader than in film. In film, the audience is much closer, so the focus is on tiny gestures and facial expressions, with particular emphasis on your eyes. Not adjusting can make your performance seem garish or melodramatic. One difficult challenge for film acting in particular is…

Nonverbal communication is a significant trait of human interaction. I chose one of the most vital of them all, the nonverbal behavior rule of Proxemics or space. This rule deals with respect and having courtesy of the people around you. It has become a social norm to respect someone’s personal space. Most people tend to become extremely uncomfortable when they feel someone is too close. This could be caused from claustrophobia or numerous other fears. This is one of the only behavior norms…

A quote I once read by Peter Zilahy states "You have to make choices even when there is nothing to choose." On the freeway headed towards downtown it happened to me again that dreaded slow driver in the far left lane or better know as the passing lane. Okay, I'll be honest, I was annoyed. I came across a road rage meme and it made laugh so hard! It was Kermit the Frog with a bolded caption that said" My face when ... I'm finally to the person who would let me over." I'm looking at it again…

I had seen her at the grocery store a few weeks after her husband's passing, and as expected she was rather lonely and sad. As I was walking by her I had said hello, gave her a smile, and told her to have a great day. Just with that small simple gesture, I seen her smile and immediately perk up a little. That is just one example as to why I took the advice of being nice and polite to everyone I see. No matter if I know someone is struggling with something or not, it…

which they live in, “T” is more appropriate in correlation to a group of hoodlums. Considering the rough living that they are put through due to finances and family’s being affected by the war, for someone to give a kind gesture as to offer chocolates is off-putting that the gesture was looked at as mean and frightening. Blackie’s reaction to the word beautiful was scornful, for he couldn’t understand why his fellow gang member was calling the house that had some much desire to be destroyed was…
