Hand Gesture - Words of warning

Avoid using the same hand gesture over and over in a pumping action

Don't animate or mime your entire speech

Refrain from copying others, the best gestures are unique to you

New gestures feel as strange to your body. Practice them until they are comfortable

One-handed gestures are often more effective than both hands mirroring each other

Avoid finger and fist gestures that may be insulting to other cultures

Gestures are a physical activity, you cannot learn to do them by reading

Use a mirror to verify that your gestures reinforce your message
