Quiet voices
Keanu Reeves/Kanye West: hand gestures and signals one second before speaking, continuing to use gestures while speaking.
George Clooney/Tom Cruise: Maintaining eye contact projects confidence. Looking away while composing a sentence is allowed if eye contact is restored later on.
Joe Rogan: Mistakes; long pauses at an end of a sentence invites others to decide you are done speaking.
Emma Watson: Pause in the middle of sentences rather than the end so people notice the sentence is incomplete.
Share praise with others.
