Expressive eyes and successful public speaking?
Question by lirael1019: Expressive eyes and successful public speaking?
I competed at a speech tournament for high schoolers today, and I noticed that the particularly effective speakers happened to be those with especially large, expressive eyes. It’s a strange observation, but it’s what I’ve gathered to be generally true, and unfortunately, I can’t work that to my advantage, because I don’t have* large, expressive eyes. What can I do to make it look as if I really care about the issue, and want to connect with my audience? More importantly, how can I practive making appropriate facial expressions? For the ladies who make persuasive speeches frequently, does mascara, etc, help
? Thanks.

Speak clearly and fluently as if you ‘know’ what you are speaking. And do make an eye contact with the important people. Since they are seated at the front generally, it will work to your advantage. As far as facial expressions are concerned, if you really believe in what you’re speaking, it will show on your face too. So understand and practice your matter beforehand. And do believe in it.
