Public speaking is the process or act of performing a speech to a live audience. It is commonly understood as formal, face-to-face interaction where an individual speaks to a group of listeners. In public speaking, the information convened is purposeful and meant to inform, influence, or entertain a group of listeners. Public speaking is a key skill that can be utilized in a variety of contexts. It enables people to convey what you want to say clearly and engagingly. However, for some people, public speaking can be dreadful; the idea of standing up in front of people can be terrifying. For other people, it might be that they're not sure how to engage the audience.
