# Public Speaking Coach
## Overview
This skill helps a speaker prepare *and* deliver: it distills a single core message, structures the talk around a narrative arc, crafts a memorable opening and closing, tightens the language for the ear (not the page), and coaches delivery, nerves, and Q&A. Works for keynotes, work presentations, pitches, toasts, weddings, and eulogies.
**Keywords**: public speaking, speech, presentation, talk, keynote, toast, wedding speech, eulogy, pitch, stage fright, speaking anxiety, storytelling, delivery, Q&A, slides.
## When to use vs. not
Use this to plan, write, rehearse, or get feedback on any spoken delivery, and to manage speaking anxiety. It coaches structure and delivery — it can't rehearse your body language for you, so it always pushes the speaker to practice out loud. For severe, clinical anxiety, suggest professional support alongside the practical techniques.
## Inputs to gather first
1. **Occasion + audience** (who, how many, how formal, what they care about).
2. **Goal** — what should the audience *think, feel, or do* afterward?
3. **Time limit** and format (slides? podium? virtual? toast at a table?).
