and wide for ease after dinner talk i'm an asshole on every occasion has given the best that he has i give you  everybody knows george johnson and it's certainly true that george is known far and wide for his after dinner talks because george bores everybody stiff has for years usually referred to his own stone face and is asked to speak only because he's willing and  some of the people of africa are tall others are very short some are fat some are thin and i say that africa is a mixture of people  the trouble with george is the isn't interesting his topic is interesting but he doesn't put it across now here's a young speaker who is really in demand because he is interesting as he talks some of the people of africa very short while some others are very tall some of them are fat and others are thin and you might say africa is a mixture of peoples of different sizes and recognize the speech yes the words are the same as george johnson's but what a difference john is good the difference between john and george is not in what they say but in how they say it john is animated he looks alive george is just talking george keeps his body rigid and motionless it lacks any expression whatsoever and when the body is tired up the mind to hamper for freedom of the body helps in freeing the mind a good speaker lets his mind and body work together to produce the desired results on his audience for your audience must be impressed or your wasting your breath if you are to impress them you must interest  attracts the attention and keep centrist ever see people look into a store window notice what stops them usually at something that moves yes motion attract your response it was a bad day a good speakers should be seen as well as heard the average speaker such as you and i is usually afraid to make use the vital emotion in making a speech once that same speaker in a telephone conversation with someone he can't even see by his expression and his yesterday expresses mild surprise and even anger is mind and his body are working together because he's being natural since he knows nobody is watching him watch a pair of ladies discuss the new spring outfit if you think gesturing is unnatural they're so interested in what they're talking about they've forgotten someone might be watching them their minds and bodies perhaps sorry ladies we are doing is that even speakers like george usually unbending speak normally in familiar surroundings when george gets home from his speech he's really forceful in telling is why of how well he thinks he spoke and how well he was received by his large audience the trick in using gestures is of course in using them correctly gestures generally fall into main classes the gesture used for description and adjust your use for emphasis the descriptive gesture is just what the name implies it helps the speaker lead his audience into the scene he describes by creating an imaginary picture on that early october morning the air was clear and brisk and you could smell the bacon frying over an open fire above the saloon the majestic rockies being away in the by the warm gentle fingers of morning sun and we stood there the two of us side by side and didn't speak but be careful in your use of the descriptive gestures be careful that you don't need attention away from yourself your audience will usually follow your direction and if you lead them off into the distance by looking in that direction you may have trouble getting their interest back to you keep your eyes on the audience one of the greatest uses of a gesture is for emphasis when what you have to say is important and you want to make it seem that way even if we had paid only five dollars for it instead of five hundred thousand we would have been cheated five hundred thousand dollars or a plan that was practically bankrupt no gentleman there can be no justice until there is fair play for all parties concerned speaking with gestures is speaking naturally speaking the way you speak on the telephone there's someone you know using motions to help your audience visualize what you're talking about the way you do when you describe your new clothes yet speaking with gestures is speaking naturally the way you speak in the privacy of your own home with your own family use gestures to help free your body and your mind so that what you say will sound and look real and sincere use motion to attract and hold the attention of your audience yes you too can be an interesting speaker one whom people want to hear about whom people will say this fellow's good then to you will come the satisfaction of knowing you are a good speaker having seen this motion picture many of you in this audience will realize it was made especially for your benefit to help you in your speech yes to this picture was aimed directly at you and you may go home and look in your mirror and say to yourself that with a little practice in the use of gestures you might be the speaker you always thought you were
