Movement & Gesture Tips• Start out simple. Practice doing gestures of common events,

such as washing the dishes or brushing your teeth. • Face the audience. If you turn your back to the audience, they

can’t see the movement or gesture. • Make the action believable. Practice and observe yourself in a

mirror doing the action.
