Document Summary

Audiences receive information from a speech through two nonverbal channels of communication. The aural consists of the vocalizations that form and accompany spoken words. These vocalizations, or paralanguage, include the qualities of volume, pitch, rate, variety, and pronunciation and articulation. The visual is when audience members simultaneously use their eyes to evaluate messages sent by the speaker"s physical appearance and body language. Paralanguage refers to how something is said, not to what is said. Body language- facial expressions, eye behavior, gestures, and general body movement. Nonverbal communication behaviors play a key part in the audience"s perception of your competence, trustworthiness, and character. Audience members will observe your body language to decode meaning visually. From your facial expressions, audiences can gauge whether we are excited about, disenchanted by, or indifferent to our speech- and the audience to whom we are presenting it. Maintaining eye contact is mandatory in establishing a positive relationship with your listeners.
