Public speaking

Public speaking refers to "the act of delivering a prepared speech or presentation to an audience. It's a form of communication where a speaker addresses a group of people, often with a specific purpose, such as to inform, persuade, or entertain. Effective public speaking involves not only the content of the speech but also how it's delivered, including nonverbal cues and engagement with the audience."
