Getting physical
A number of skillful business speakers have said that with these techniques they have been able
to recapture the attention of a temporarily disinterested listener. When experienced speakers spot
one person in the audience whose eyes are looking down or off at another part of the room, they
issue a concentrated dose of words and look directly at that person. This can actually coerce the
distracted listener to reestablish eyetoeye contact with the speaker.
When presenting dry, complex facts or statistics, odds are that the eyes and heads will stray. But,
if you raise your voice, pound the lectern, or tell a story about real people and real events, the
odds are that you'll turn heads back in your direction again. A good speaker communicates with
the audience with his or her eyes.
The first person to discover he didn't like the sound of his
own voice was probably Thomas Edison
