Basically, it\u2019s a presentation that\u2019s given live before an audience. Public speeches can cover a wide variety of different topics. The goal of the speech may be to educate, entertain, or influence the listeners. Often, visual aids in the form of an electronic slideshow are used to supplement the speech. This makes it more interesting to the listeners.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"j6txed1 j6txed0\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45698\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-frontend.envato.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,quality=75,format=auto\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/public_speaking_vs_online_presentation.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-frontend.envato.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/public_speaking_vs_online_presentation.jpg 850w, https:\/\/blog-frontend.envato.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/public_speaking_vs_online_presentation-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-frontend.envato.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/public_speaking_vs_online_presentation-768x512.jpg 768w\" alt=\"public speaking vs online presentation\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/african-student-woman-learning-using-laptop-and-ta-4BMLMBR\">Envato<\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">A quality public communication definition should explain how it\u2019s different from an online presentation, which is why we\u2019ll cover it here.

But most\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicspeakingproject.org\/PDFS\/chapter2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public speaking experts<\/a>\u00a0involved with public speaking in business communication trace the origins of modern public speaking back to ancient Greece and Rome.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">Of course, those societies didn\u2019t have slideshows, but they did have a need for speaking in public. As a result, they developed public speaking methods that are still studied today.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">The ancient Greeks used public speech primarily to praise or persuade others. At one point, all Greek citizens had the right to suggest or oppose laws during their assemblies. This resulted in a need for skilled public speakers. Speaking in public became a desirable skill and was taught. Public speaking in the time of the Greeks was called rhetoric. Later, when Rome came to power, speaking in public was used during the Roman senate sessions. The Romans adopted the public speaking rhetoric methods of the Greeks. In fact, most public speaking\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicspeakingproject.org\/PDFS\/chapter2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teachers of the time were Greek.<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">The Latin style of public speaking was popular in the U.S. and Europe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_speaking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">until the mid-20th century<\/a>. After World War II, a less formal and more conversational speaking style of speaking became popular. Also, electronic tools became available to enhance public presentations.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">Towards the end of the 20th century, electronic tools migrated to the computer. They evolved into the computer software tools, like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/series\/how-to-use-powerpoint-ultimate-tutorial-guide--cms-1207\">PowerPoint<\/a>, that we know and use today.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"i5d5hdb i5d5hda _1fbaf8w1pp _1fbaf8w1qy _1fbaf8w1vs _1fbaf8w1x1 i5d5hd7\">\r\n<div class=\"_1cizuo71 _1cizuo70\">Don\u2019t be fooled, though.
