Public speaking involves structuring and delivering a speech to inform, influence, or entertain an audience. The main purposes of public speaking are to inform, entertain, educate, and persuade audiences. Common fears include being judged negatively, making mistakes, or losing one's way. Strategies to reduce fear include knowing the audience and topic, relaxing, visualizing success, practicing, and self-evaluation. Effective preparation involves selecting a topic, researching, planning a script, rehearsing, making notes, and practicing delivery. Proper appearance, body language, eye contact, gestures, and audience analysis are important for an effective performance. Repeated practice is key to becoming a good speaker.
