a study showed that of a speech's power of persuasion - it's effectiveness -
55% being visual cues
38% being vocal qualities
and a mere
7% are the words themselves.
body language plays a very big part in communication to a very great extent. there's this thing called "the masking defense", where the face we present to the outer world is rarely our real face. some may consider that inappropriate, but others may say that it is something necessary. like how do ppl actually separate personal matters and office matters? => the masking defense
we have been trained since small to give a forced smile - a body language that lies, but is often necessary. but most times, we convey a body language that contradicts visually and subconsciously to what we are saying verbally and deliberately. it interferes the communication, sabotaging the messages we want to convey.
yes, the good news is body language can be learnt. but it's something always done unconsciously, so real effort must be put in.
conclusion: you need not talk much or come out with fantastic words to have a good conversation; it is the correct expression that you make that really matters
