How Could VR Technology Improve Public Speaking and Presentation Skills?

With VR technology becoming more accessible, how can it be utilized to help individuals improve their public speaking and presentation skills? Could virtual environments simulate real-life speaking scenarios, such as addressing large crowds or managing unexpected distractions? Would it help with reducing anxiety, or allow for more effective practice and feedback?

If a person with anxiety issues, or someone who is autistic is trying to give a talk, it could help them a lot. Stage fright is a very real problem for a lot of people. @Rain Dew wants me to hit up an open mic and try some stand up. I could never get up in front of people like that. But if I was in a different location, and performing through the VR, that’s a possibility.

Besides, while I have my occasional moment, I’m not a comedian.
I’m just a jackass.

When I was younger, I shied away from stuff like public speaking - I think during my teenage years I developed the confidence to do stuff like that. Honestly, while I don't like to do public interactions like going on a stage, I could perform no problem.
