What are the advantages of verbal communication – over non-verbal communication?
In Verbal Communication, we are able to express ourselves very clearly. We are able to point out, one by one. the ideas, insights, and views we want to impart to the audience. Verbal Communication is more effective if we combine it with non-verbal ones like meaningful gestures and body language. For example, if you say “I am strong!” followed by pounding your chest once or twice, it’s more effective and more powerful way of proving your point. You’ll get the attention and interest of the audience to listen to you. Another example. if you say to your audience “all of you! yes, all of you out there!” and use your finger to point at all the audience, this is meaningful gesture. Again, you’ll get the attention and interest of the audience to listen to you. Non-Verbal Communication without speech is like playing the game “charade” or just making the sign language to the deaf & mute. Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication always go together. They are inseparable.
