Publicspeaking is speaking to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner.
Publicspeaking is almost as ancient as speech itself.
Effective publicspeaking can be developed by joining a club such as Rostrum, Toastmasters International, or International Training in Communication in which members are assigned exercises to improve their speaking skills.
