Body Language in Presentations

Body language is an important aspect of any performance. An actor's body language plays a crucial part in telling the audience about the character they are playing. What is body language? Body language is the way in which our bodies communicate our own or a character's attitudes. An audience or viewer can watch it to pick up on someone's age, emotions, status, or health. For example, a student being told off by a teacher in a tv drama can easily tell the audience that she's not feeling sorry for what she's done by: curling her lip showing a bored look in her eyes having her head slightly lowered putting a hand on her hip having her hip stuck out, with her weight on one leg.






Different types of body language Body language is the most important aspect of face-to-face communication. Anything you say can be enhanced or undermined by how you sit or stand or how you move your eyes. If you look bored then the audience will be. The purpose of any face-to-face communication is to engage the people you are talking to. They will then listen to what you have to say. If your body language is right, they will already be persuaded that you are worth listening to. There are three main types of body language: eye contact body position gesture and movement
