  When I was in school I had to take a public speaking class.  One never
knew when it would be needed, from being on stage to speaking to a group of
people.
  We were taught to project so the people in the back of the room could
hear us as well as those right in front.
  This is no longer taught (ASAIK) and when people speak to a group they
just mumble.
  Or they yell at the audience.

> Now, though, everyone's grown up & learned acting with mic-driven sound stages

  What I dislike are people who seem to think they have to hold a mic and
not just leave it on the stand.
