EYE CONTACT
By: Selena Luna
SPEAKER WILL GIVE EYE CONTACT TO THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE
What does it mean?
This law is saying that the speaker will look at the audience and not at the floor or at the ceiling. Nor will the speaker look at their notecards/board more than is needed.
What is the purpose?
The purpose of this law is to ensure that the speaker knows about what they are talking about and that they are interested in the topic. This is also to show respect to the audience and to keep them interested.
What does it look and sound like?
This law looks like the speaker is giving equal if not more attention to their audience and their notecards/boards. This law doesn't sound like anything because it is using your eyes.
Advice and Tips
- Practice looking at yourself in a mirror
- Practice your speech with eye contact on friends and family
- Do not focus solely on one person the entire time.
