Nonverbal Considerations
1 Credible style: stands still when no
talking, monotone voice, less facial
expressions, goes up on the second
to last syllable in the last of a
sentence, CNN talk, etc.
l Approachable style: moves when not
talking, has many facial expressions
and great variety in tonal inflection,
large asymmetrical hand gestures
and goes up on the end of each
sentence so that each sentence
sounds like a question.
