How To Gesture is a comprehensive guide to the art of gesture, written by Edward Amherst Ott and originally published in 1902. Ott was a well-known actor and public speaker, and in this book he shares his expertise on the use of body language to convey emotion, emphasis, and meaning in public speaking and acting.The book begins with an introduction to the importance of gesture in communication, and then goes on to cover a wide range of topics related to gesture, including the different types of gestures, the use of facial expressions, the role of posture and movement, and the importance of timing and rhythm.Throughout the book, Ott provides numerous examples of effective and ineffective gestures, and offers practical advice on how to develop a natural and effective gestural style. He also includes exercises and drills for readers to practice and improve their gestural skills.How To Gesture is a valuable resource for anyone interested in public speaking, acting, or communication in general, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the art of nonverbal communication as it was understood at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
