Learn English – What’s an adjective for excessively hand gesturing while talking

word-request

Suppose you are being interviewed for a job, and while you're making a presentation, you find yourself (in a fit) excessively hand gesturing to the obvious inconvenience of the interviewer. Now you would like to apologize for that:

I'm sorry for making too much gestures.

I'm sorry for being excessive with my hands.

Are the above OK? Is there a one-word adjective that can capture the meaning?

Best Answer

I think the word you want is gesticulations.

So you could say either "Sorry for all the gesticulations" or "I'm sorry about my gesticulating."
