3 pagesPublished: February 16, 2023

Abstract

In several studies, the fear of public speaking acts like pathology. However, giving a lecture or presenting a project are daily tasks that stir the nerves, even the non-phobic person. The article intends to show the pedagogical vision about the influence of virtual environments’ aid in public speaking practice.
Two studies were conducted. A scoping review debated the use of the virtual reality programs for public speaking skills training and has proved, in this context, is still a recent procedure, and so lacks solid evidence. Second, exploratory research detected and compared nine virtual reality applications for public speaking practice.
