Analysis Of The Ellen Show
When I watched the episode of “The Ellen show” published on September 9, 2015, I noticed how uncomfortably you felt in the studio. It was visible through your non-verbal communication, especially in terms of the gestures (see fig. 1) and facial expressions (see fig.2).Interestingly, however, that by virtue of the established eye contact with the audience, you managed to get people interested and engaged into your performance.
