  Let your hands flow naturally and smoothly. But some people like Jerry Seinfeld gesture rapidly for humorous effect, so study comedians’ gestures, too.

  I’m having my first oral presentation to my class and it only last 3 mins. How do I successfully complete my 3min presentation without losing my nerves?

  It is bad practice to have both your hands in your pocket, and gripping the stand shows nervousness. Use your hands as you would if you were mute. Try practicing this by your self. As if you were mute, and had to make the audience understand what you want to convey to them using your hands only. Try explaining ‘I came in through this door, then reached the stand, and started speaking to you’ without saying a word, and only using your hands. Its a trick I teach my students.

  Natural gestures take a bit of practice. Both hands should not be in your pockets the whole time, but it doesn’t hurt to put one in to seem casual and relaxed.

  Well, I think on the whole the video doesn’t do any harm. However, I do not believe it is meaningful to say that gestures give a speaker more “credibility”. There is little if any research which says that audiences believe a speaker more simply because of gestures. Nor do I understand what ANY trainers mean when they talk about making a speech more “impactful”. If you question them closely, you will find that the word “impact” really doesn’t mean anything that you can put your finger on.

  My gestures sometimes tend to be too frantic. This video showed me the virtues of staying smooth and flowing.

  I felt that this video was excellent. Too many speakers, including those in Toastmasters, will gesture, but may be overbearing or jerky. You gave excellent examples of how to gesture — and make eye contact.
