Watching a professional speaker speak is a thing of beauty, when you know these things about "ahs" and "umms" and "errs"... and how to use your hands properly, body positioning, eye/attention direction, etc.

I used to train public speaking skills to executives, etc., who needed to present more professionally at conferences and other events. Public speaking is a craft that requires practice in multiple disciplines and skills.
