Home and School Speaker. Chicago 1902: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/012499534.
Engle & Siddons. Practical Illustrations of Rhetorical Gesture and Action. https://archive.org/details/practicalillustr00engluoft
These are acting/oration diagrams based on Delsarte’s “structural acting system.”
I use these as a speaking exercise designed for both fun and failure. It’s humorous, and no matter what you do, you kinda look goofy up there.
The more opportunities we make for things like this, the easier it is for people to work through their speaking anxieties.
