Public speaking

Public speaking, or oratory, is the delivery of a speech to a live audience. Throughout history, public speaking has held significant cultural, religious, and political importance, emphasizing the necessity of effective rhetorical skills. It allows individuals to connect with a group of people to discuss any topic.

The goal as a public speaker may be to educate, teach, or influence an audience.
Public speakers often utilize visuals such as slideshows, images, and short videos to enhance audience understanding.
