Thank you so much! Very informative and this is a friendly reminder to someone who actually studied communications. I've been making educational tiktoks for almost 9 months and because of the vertical videos I can't show my hands a lot. But the times where I feel I need to show my hand gestures and motions sometimes I nailed it and sometimes not. But for my first KZread videos this is super "handy". 🙌

That arched, "steepled fingers" gesture is one I avoid uncompromisingly, ever since I did it in a public speaking course and my teacher said it was an expression of boredom. Over the 40 years or so since then, observing others and noting when they resort to the "triangle," it has grown very clear to me that the professor was right. People resort to the triangle when they are in a perfunctory, rote, scripted mood, rattling off what they know they have to tell you but is quite "old" and thoroughly unengaging to their own minds.
I love how you still replying your subscriber comment, great content ❤

I’m doing this thing at my school called a speech festival, and I have to do a speech on the railway air brake and how it impacted lives. I tend to be really stiff and don’t practice that much so it takes me a while to incorporate gestures. Which gesture should I use?
@BostonSpeaks

Use the palms up and gesture towards people or the camera. It will give you more flow.
Thank you! But can i use the strict way for powerful speeches?

My teacher always scold me for doing hand movements while answering a question or talking on any topic or when i tell some concepts related to understanding of concepts. He getting angry on me . And tell me in future this habit become an adverse effects on me . I can't do anything because it become habit for me .I can't leave this habit . It helps me to express me more easily. I think i use hands movements faster and more.. Tell me what should I do. Sorry for bad English 😅

It's your teacher's preference. Imagine someone who likes spicy food tells you that your cooking is bad because it wasn't spicy enough
Great tips, especially if you don’t overdue the gestures. There is a fine line between excellence and trying too hard.
