The Stage Director

Physical delivery is not charisma; it is a short list of rehearsable behaviours. Direct yourself through six beats of a real speech — where the eyes land, what the hands do, whether the feet move — and watch the room warm up or cool off. Then flip to On camera, where all four rules change.
The speech · direct one beat at a time
1 · Where do the eyes go?
2 · What are the hands doing?
3 · What do the feet do?
