Aural channel- made up of the vocalizations that form and accompany spoken words. Paralanguage- how something is said not to what is said. Visual channel- speaker"s physical actions and appearance- facial expressions, gestures, general body movement, physical appearance, dress and objects held together. Facilitates feedback, creating a loop of communication b/w speaker and audience. Establish speaker credibility: clarify verbal messages. Vocal and bodily actions: facilitate feedback. Body cues- head shaking, smiles, frowns, arms flooded across, gazes to communicate pleasure or displeasure: establish relationships between speaker and audience. How you position yourself, closeness that is suitable to the topic. Slower and consistent rate = formal relationship with listeners: establish speaker credibility. Audience respond whom they perceive to be well dressed and attractive. Take them more seriously and more objective in their responses. Pay attention to body movement: animate your facial expressions. Maintains the quality of directness in speech delivery.
