After watching this video clip, i realised that i never focus on my hands during presentation.I did a practise on my own and figured out that i felt more comfortable while presenting by moving my hands.We look more confident,comfortable, and relax when we move our hands during presentation.People can also focus on us and we can transmit the messages clearly to them.

The hand's moving can show our situation during given the presentation.Audience will know either we are in nervously, scaring, relaxing or confidence.Dont put our hand on back or just straight on both side.But unpolitely hand action also not accepted.Hand action can affect the vocal voices.We should control our hand action because a great hand action can make the speeking more meaningful.

Hands is one of our main body parts that people will notice . When we speak in public or in front of people.My point is when we speak we should put our hands in front of us , near to our chest part. We should not put our hands at the back , in side our pockets or even fold them .Our hands are useful in this situation because people judge us by our body languague in just a few seconds but of course we must becareful when we move our hands . My advice make use of our hands when we speak . It can help the audience to understand certain message . It is like non-verbal communication.

Hands,hands,hands... We use them everyday and yet we hide them during speaking at public, what a waste! If we are not using our hand during speaking, it will be the same situation as driving a car without using our hand. An unpleasant feeling. I believe when moving our hands during presentation, our flow of the speech will be smoother and hence the audience will understand what we are trying to deliver easier and better.

Miss,,
During presentation,to be honest i do not focus on my hands at all.Sometimes,when i stand in front,i always bring along a pen.It shows how nervous i am and i transfer all my nervousness into the pen.When i watch this video,i realise that our hands is one of the important parts during presentation.We should move our hands to attract audience's attention.

Firstly, I want to comment about the sound of this video which is too slow. I don't know either that was my computer problem or the video itself. About the content of the video, what have I understand from it is, movement of the hand will help us more comfortable to give a speech.Besides that, it look more interesting to watch a presenter with some movement than just a stnding presenter. I hope I will practice it in my presentation. Thank you.

BISMILLAH.. BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO I REALIST THAT HAND IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BODY LANGUAGE. WHEN WE TALK, WE NEED TO MAKE USE OF OUR HAND IN A RIGHT WAY LIKE MOVING OUR HAND AND NOT HIDING IT BACK OR PUTTING OUR HAND IN THE POCKET. AS TJ SAID, SOMEONE TELL HIM TO PUT HANDS IN POCKET AND DON'T MOVE IT AS IT SEEMS UNPROFESSIONAL, TJ SAID ITS HORRIBLE AND IT'S NONSENSE FOR ME TOO, TO HERE THAT. ALL THOSE THING WILL ONLY SHOW HOW NERVOUS AND AFRAID THE PRESENTER IS. SO MOVE OUR HAND WHILE PRESENTING AS IT WILL HELP US TO BECOME CONFIDENT, COMFORTABLE AND RELAX.

The sound on this clip is too soft. Alright, I have to admit that the last thing that comes to my mind in a presentation is what to do with my hands. This is because we were too caught up with the things that we need to say. Somehow our hand movements helps to visualize on the things that we are presenting. After watchng this video, I guess I got to take note on my hand movements whenever I talk because it make a difference.

For this presentation, the voice of presenter very slow and i cant to hear clearly what the presenter want to says. For me also, the message is not delivered and make me bored and can also feel sleeping. The presenter also says faster and quickly, so i cant to caught what the presenter says. The message cant to make me interesting. Too simple and the voice is monotones. Sorry..

In the presentations, the people that don’t move their hands are like a rock. So, do move your hands and it makes you a people. The presented that don’t move hand s make the presentation really boring. By moving your hands, you also should are different tone which not monotone. This different tone can make the audience know what you want to stress on and make they understand what you want to present. You should focus what are the messages that you want to say and use a different tone when you are telling the main point.

'Move your hands.......Move your hands...hands...'
So,that's the main point! Move your hands when you're talking. It looks more natural and comfortable rather than holding your hands or keeping hands at the back. Moving our hands while speaking is a way to show our confidence and steady. Usually,i will try to move my hands whenever i speak to the audiences.Sometimes i fail to do this because i'm nervous and my hands are numb. I need to learn to be relaxed before delivering my speech. In short,move your hands while talking, friends!
P/S: We are Human beings,not a mummy.
Thank You.

What your hands do during you give a speech ? When you feel brave, your hands will show many movement like show your index finger or fist to audience to get their attention. If you feel scared, your hand is not move, held together and grab gather. In other words, what you thinking in your brain will cause all part of your body to react. Then, your brains will send feedback to all part of body after integrate information that send by your eye, ear, and mouth. So, you should use a pair of hand to help you send messages to audience to make them understand what you talk.

I agree with TJ WALKER.Un it looking very boring when unmoveable man standing infront of us and giving us a speech. Moving hands during speech looks lively, rather standing like a rock. Moving hands and body, pumps oxygen to our brain. It makes us more boosted. Its looks we are very knowledged about the topic that we are talking about. We know that people like to listen upon the person moving his/her hands and body. I always use to do that. I makes me very confident in my speech.

Honestly I didn't get many tips from this video because the sound is to slow and I have setting many things in my laptop but it no use. Just a little thing I get is the important of hand movement during presentation. Hand movement can symbolized emotion of the presenter whether he confident or nervous. Since hand movement is one of the body language, it was important in making our talk more interesting. It also can be the medium of communication between the presenter and the audience.

I agree that hand movements play an important role in our presentation. It is also a good way to reduce our nervous.At the same time the presentation will be more interesting. Hand movements is important to show our good gestures to audiences, so no wonder why robots are created with hand functions.

Hands...Hands...Hands.. This is the only word can be heard clearly in this video.After watching the video,i agree with TJ Walker said that moving our hands during the presentation is very important. Hands movement can make the presentation more interesting and the audience will more focus on what the presenter is talking about. Besides that, moving our hands during the presentation can release our nervous and oso make us more comfortable and more relax. It is better than just putting our hands in the pocket or stand there like a statue which will spoil our presentation.

Hands is the one important thing during speech.It look like we very confident abaut our point.Try to move our hands during our speech.People that feel nervous and scared always hold the hands and just stand like a corpse.The audiences will detect that he was nervous and feel so scary.The audiences cannot get the message.So,we must always move our hands..

Through this video,the speaker tell us that moving hands can make us feel more confidence and relax during the presentation, at least the audience will not see and know our unconfidence and nervous in the presentation.Moving hands also can make the presentation becomes more interesting and the audience will not felt boring and sleepy. The example is given in the video.I felt that this video is interesting because besides speaking, the speaker also have a lot of movements make me always focus on his speech.

Thanks to T J Walkers because describe about the importance of moving hands when doing a presentation. Before this, I does not focus on my hands during presentation. After watching this video, I know my mistakes. I think moving hands a part of our presentation. People who are watching our presentation will know that we are very confident during presentation if we move our hands. so, MOVE YOUR HANDS DURING PRESENTATION!!!!!

as we know that our look while presenting a speech is very important, we are not talking about how handsome we are, but we must consider in maintaining our looks and actions that must be taken before the speech and after the speech......
talk about an action, we must use a good face impression and also our hands.
Our hands is a very important role in order to got the audience attraction on our speech..
Our hands indirectly represent our confidence level.. a good speaker with a high confidence level would always move his hands regularly to make the audience trust on the speech... but a big diffrences we can see from a nervous speaker, they alwalys hold their hands, this attitude shows a low confidence level in ourselves... thats all thank you n trimas.............

This video explain about the use of our hand while give a speech. It is also one of the body language. I agree with this men about the use of our hand while give a speech because if we move our hand, we will feel more relax and the nervous will gone. We also get more confidence while giving a speech. The audience also will focus our speech because they will not disturb by our nervous.

The sound is very slow.Honestly,I can't understand what he said but I try my best to hear his speech.I all about hands.The way we use our hands during presentation is very important.When we give the speech,we must open double hands and not hiding our hands in the pocket.It is not good action and it will show we are nervous and not confident with ourselves.For your information,moving our hands can reduce our nervous and at the same time increase our confidence.

Erm... TJ always says about the right thing. He says what my teacher always says that the thing we should avoid during presentation. I thought, maybe my teacher know him very well. Hehehehe... But that’s not the point now. I think, TJ’s right. People never thought about their hands or the uses of their hands during presentation. I also always do like that. To hide my nervous, i always hide my hands it as hard as a stone. So, people not see the shaking of my hands. Hehehehe... sorry, i thought it’s funny. When i’m nervous, obviously people will see the hard shake of my hands. I’m sure, when people watch this video, they will know how wrong the style of their presentation before this.
