We have all seen it.  The presenters face is expressionless, wooden, devoid of emotion or life.  It is usually well paired with a horrific monotone vocal delivery, to really kill off the audiencecompletely.  Presenting is a serious business, so these presenters present a very serious physiognomy.  Somehow, scowling is thought to be good too, to show the gravitas these heavyweights bring to the occasion. These are powerful people, who by definition, must look powerful.  Technical people, in particular, love this no frills approach and smiling is definitely well off their list of possibilities. To be fair, there are presentations where levity, smiling, frivolity are totally inappropriate. A remembrance ceremony for the fallen heroes and heroines in battle, would be an occasion for an austere face. Losing all the shareholder's value through some idiocy would be another.  A serious face however, doesn't have to be an expressionless face. Recalling lost loved ones in a heartbroken community, can see the presenter's face stricken and tortured with pent up emotions.  When I gave eulogy for my mother at her funeral, my face was ashen and pained. In business though, in most cases, we can use our faces as an additional communication tool with our audience.  We are using tonal variety in our voice, our hands for gestures, our eyes for audience engagement.  We should also be using our faces too.  A raised eyebrow can speak volumes.  It can indicate curiosity, incredulousness or doubt.  Turning our face to the side and tilting our head to go with it, can show scepticism or cynicism.  Pursing our lips together then pushing them forward in a pout shows disagreement or disapproval.  Pulling our head back from the neck shows shock or surprise. Physicality is one of the tools available to the presenter.  When you think about it we are incredibly active using our face in normal conversation. If we filmed you speaking and played it back you would be amazed at how much facial expression you are employing. Stand you behind a podium or put you on stage in front of an audience though and maybe all that natural communication ability sails out the window and is replaced by a wooden you instead. When we look at theatre performances, television, movies, comedic acts we can see facial tools being well employed to drive home messages.  I enjoy the popular drama from Italy, Inspector Montalbano and the Italian culture really makes great use of the face to communicate emotions. They are just talking, but it looks like they are arguing and of course the gesturing is on fire.  We should stop watching these shows just for the entertainment value and start re-watching them for what we can learn about how to employ our face more powerfully when presenting.  In the same way, when we are speaking, we hit key words with a louder or softer volume for effect, we should start employing our face to do the very same thing.  When you want to raise doubt about some proposition someone else is putting forward, look for a suitable facial expression to back up that message.  When you want to appear sceptical of some idea, then bring your best sceptic face to the fore.  When you want to look happy, a huge smile will do the trick to convey that feeling. This is very hard to coordinate when you are starting out.  These days I have so much going on with my voice, eyes, gestures, body language I am not even aware of it.  Watching myself on video with the sound turned off, I can see how much natural variety I am bringing to the talk.  It wasn't like that at the start.  My very first public presentation in my life was in Japanese to the Sundai Yobiko cram school students who were forced to listen to me. I was so nervous, I managed to finish a 25 minute speech in 8 minutes.  I am sure my face was not only wooden, but also bright red from all the stress I was feeling. Like anything to do with public speaking this facial involvement takes practice. Presenting in front of a mirror is a good chance to see how animated you are.  Video is better though and these days everyone has a smart phone with a very good quality camera lens included.  Try doing the same piece with repetition to see if you are bringing your face into the communication.  Also check you are doing it congruently with the content you are addressing.  Over time, you will start creating appropriate facial expressions for that piece of the content without even noticing it.  To be a more effective public speaker, get your face more involved!

Grover Gardner creates a wonderful narration for the final episode of Andrea Camilieri's bestselling Inspector Montalbano series. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Sandi Henschel discuss the metafictional twist that plunges Montalbano and author Camilieri into the heart of the novel's action. Gardner deftly slips between “the author” whose books made Montalbano a famous TV detective and Montalbano himself as they are drawn into a murder mystery.

Facial Animation Needed For Presenting Success   We have all seen it.  The presenters face is expressionless, wooden, devoid of emotion or life.  It is usually well paired with a horrific monotone delivery, to really kill off the audience.  Presenting is a serious business, so these presenters present a very serious physiognomy.  Scowling is thought to be good too, to show the gravitas they bring to the occasion. These are powerful people, who by definition, must look powerful.  Technical people in particular love this no frills approach and smiling is definitely off their list of possibilities.   To be fair, there are presentations where levity, smiling, frivolity are inappropriate. A remembrance ceremony for the fallen heroes and heroines in battle, would be an occasion for an austere face. Losing all the shareholder's value through some idiocy would be another.  A serious face however, doesn't have to be an expressionless face. Recalling lost loved ones in a heartbroken community, can see the presenter's face stricken and tortured with pent up emotions.  When I read the eulogy for my mother at her funeral, my face was ashen and pained.   In business though, for most cases we can use our faces as an additional communication tool with our audience.  We are using tonal variety in our voices, our hands for gestures, our eyes for audience engagement.  We should also be using our faces too.  A raised eyebrow can speak volumes.  It can indicate curiosity, incredulousness or doubt.  Turning our face to the side and tilting our head to go with it, can show scepticism or cynicism.  Pursing our lips together then pushing them forward in a pout shows disagreement or disapproval.  Pulling our head back from the neck shows shock or surprise.   When you think about it we are incredibly active using our face in normal conversation. If we filmed you speaking and played it back you would be amazed at how much facial expression you are employing. Stand you behind a podium or put you on stage in front of an audience though and maybe all that natural communication ability sails out the window and is replaced by wooden you instead.   When we look at theatre performances, television, movies, comedic acts we can see facial tools being well employed to drive home messages.  I enjoy the popular drama from Italy, Inspector Montalbano and the Italian culture really makes great use of the face to communicate emotions. They are just talking, but it looks like they are arguing and of course the gesturing is on fire.  We should stop watching these shows just for the entertainment value and start re-watching them for what we can learn about how to employ our face when presenting.   In the same way when we are speaking we hit key words with a louder or softer volume for effect, we should start employing our face to do the very same thing.  When you want to raise doubt about some proposition someone else is putting forward, look for a suitable facial expression to back up that message.  When you want to appear sceptical of some idea, then bring your best sceptic face to the fore.   This is very hard to coordinate when you are starting out.  These days I have so much going on with my voice, eyes, gestures, body language I am not even aware of it.  Watching myself on video with the sound turned off, I can see how much natural variety I am bringing to the talk.  It wasn't like that at the start.  My very first public presentation in my life was in Japanese to the Sundai Yobiko cram school students, where I managed to finish a 25 minute speech in 8 minutes.  I am sure my face was not only wooden but also bright red from all the stress I was feeling.   Like anything to do with public speaking this facial involvement takes practice. Presenting in front of a mirror is a good chance to see how animated you are.  Video is better though and these days everyone has a smart phone with a very good quality camera lens included.  Try doing the same piece with repetition to see if you are bringing your face into the communication.  Also check you are doing it congruently with the content you are addressing.  Over time, you will start creating appropriate facial expressions for that piece of the content without even noticing it.  To be a more effective public speaker, get your face more involved!        

For some readers, the love of mysteries started with Nancy Drew. Here are some suggestions for mystery readers from Nancy Pearl and the folks around the table at the Bryant Corner Cafe. Nancy Pearl says her enjoyment of mysteries is limited by some wince-worthy writing. But she avoids those writers. The books Nancy recommended and some suggestions from the rest of us around the table at The Bryant Corner Café, 32nd and 65th in the Bryant neighborhood in Seattle. We will be there next Tuesday, June 2nd at 3:15. Drop on by.

(Though Nancy finds them less mysteries than character driven stories. She isn’t sure they even belong in the mystery section and are an example of why she chaffs at putting books into different categories. ) Judy calls out Sherlock Holmes for re-reading. Nancy calls for Agatha Christie, even if, as she says, all the characters are just collections of ticks. For good mysteries with Roman themes, Keith enjoys the Flavia Alba mysteries by Lindsey DavisFor good writing and good mysteries with contemporary themes, Nancy recommends Walter Mosley and his Easy Rawlins series.Donna Leon’s Inspector Brunetti series and Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series are Steve’s favorites. Also, he suggests Pierre Magnan, “Death in the Truffle Woods.” Of course that takes us to Martin Walker’s Bruno, Chief of Police novels, also set in France.We mentioned that Soho Press has a Soho Crime imprint of interesting translated foreign mysteries.  Also, here is a page from Dartmouth College that list mysteries from other lands.
