Thanks for linking to my post, Denise! I hadn't thought of using those techniques in standard speech, though I think that I do anyway, by force of habit.
Just today, me and my fellow podcaster used the trick of sitting across from each other and nodding as we spoke. My own post reminded me that we should be doing this, and we hadn't been doing so. What a difference! Our voices became lively and engaged.
I often advise my trainees to stand up when they're doing a phone interview or important phone calls, just because their voices sound much more lively and engaged. Try that, too! And, as I've reported elsewhere on the blog, gesturing helps you avoid verbal slips and stumbles and may even help you think better while you're speaking. Thanks again for your informative post, Stephanie!
