6. THE POSTURE AND MANNERISMS IN FRONT
OF THE AUDIENCE. Personality, with the exception of preparation, is probably the most important factor in public speaking. It
is a well-known fact that personality contributes more to business success than superior intelligence. This is very relevant for the educator and the speaker. In eloquent speaking it is the manner that wins
and not the words. Rather it is the manner plus ideas. Personality is the whole combination of a person encompassing his physical, spiritual and mental traits; tendencies and temperaments; experiences and
expertise; vigour and positive outlook in life. Basically an individual's personality is determined by inheritance and environment and so it is extremely difficult to alter or improve the same. Yet anyone
can, by forceful thoughts and practice, strengthen it to some extent and make it more powerful and attractive. If you wish to make the best out of your individuality, go before the audience rested. A
tired speaker is not magnetic nor can attract attention. Both physical and mental rest would calm down your nerves. Do nothing to dampen your energy. Keep up your vitality and enthusiasm. People would
cluster around an energetic speaker. Pay attention to your dress. When one is well dressed, the knowledge of it and the feeling of it will have a positive effect on him. It gives him more confidence and
helps him to have increased faith in himself. It heightens his self-respect. Basically, the clothes have a great effect on the wearer himself and also on the audience. An audience has as little respect for
the speaker as he has for his own appearance. They might very likely to assume that the mind is as sloppy as the ill groomed hair,
crumpled dress, unpolished shoes or bulging pockets. Click to next page...
