Stand or sit with spine straight but relaxed
Eloquence extends beyond linguistic usage. Slumping conveys a lack of self-assurance in both your speech and yourself.
Keep your chin up
The act of ‘holding your head high,’ for instance, conveys pride and resolve. Being ‘downcast’ denotes having previously suffered a defeat.
Focus on your listeners
A person won't listen to you if you are distracted or your eyes are darting around the room, so eloquence is significant when someone is paying attention.
Speak loudly enough to be heard
If you want to be as eloquent as possible, talk loud enough for those to hear you, but not so loud that it is unpleasant for those in front of you.
Buttress words with appropriate gestures
Points should be emphasised with your hands. Observe how their hand gestures appear to ‘emerge’ from what they are saying.
Strategically position your body
Make the right body movements. You could shift from one place to another while addressing a group from a platform to indicate new concept.
Use pauses to create emphasis
Not only is silence a precious quality, but it is also the pinnacle of elegance. Tension might be created by a little pause while speaking.
