Nonverbal Communication
Characteristics of Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal Communication:
Messages expressed by other than linguistic means.

Personal Example:
When I smile, that's not something I can put into words.
Influences on Nonverbal Communication
Example from Text:

Personal Example:
I sometimes change my voice to make a different impression for people. If I'm with little kids, I will make my voice higher pitched.
