Voice tone & Body Language

[Aresx]

Dammit, i've been trying to help myself out for a while on these two things... i have seen myself on video, and i do NOT come across like i intend to - what i think is "seductively masculine" at the time, looks pretty much "feminine"

anyone know of any good tips/programs i can buy that really delve into how to improve these?

i even went so far as to order a TEXTBOOK on nonverbal communication for bodylanguage from amazon. a friggin TEXTBOOK, not a little pop-psychology book, a university level TEXTBOOK (not sure what level, 1, 2, 3 or 4).

awaiting it's shipment, will let you all know how i do with that, in the meantime...

HELP!

You dont need any of that stuff.

Go watch some Denzel Washington movies. Antwan Fisher and Crimson Tide come to mind.

problem is when i try to replicate... comes out differently. i wanna find the parts from breaking it down to the essentials, and then understand that... i've tried to walk like the really masculine role models on tv.. doesn't come across right...

however, in high school, ugly as fukk, walking like a badass the first year i made the drumline, some cute chich opened me before a pep rally, of course, i was too much of an AFC to continue the conversation... dammit... if only i could re-create that feeling of badassness that made me walk however....

I don't know much on body language really but heres some tips.

- take up body space
- sit and stand straight and don't lean or support your weight on either side too much
- Try too keep your chest out
- keep your head up
- slow confident / purposeful movements
- don't figit around / cross your arms or
- keep good eye contact


..theres a few simple things not sure on the more complex things like hand movements or facial gestures etc.... basically look purposful, confident and manly lol
