Information about Rhetoric
Rhetoric is an antique term and means oratory. It refers to the ability to speak informatively, understandably and convincingly in front of a crowd and / or give a lecture. One's own points of view in discussions or in a speech should be presented through distinctive rhetorical skills and create a connection with the audience.
Rhetoric plays an important role in numerous professions. Especially where many speeches are given, it is important to know certain rhetorical skills.

An adequate speech pace as well as sound of the voice and the effective use of pauses is also an important part of well conducted presentations.
