Verbal communication refers to the use of spoken words and language to convey information, express thoughts or feelings, and interact with others. It includes not only the words themselves but also tone of voice, pitch, volume, rate of speech, and other elements that help to convey meaning beyond just the literal interpretation of the words. Verbal communication is a key component of human interaction and can be used in various settings such as face-to-face conversations, telephone calls, group discussions or presentations, and public speaking engagements. It is an important skill for effective communication and can be enhanced through practice, training, and awareness of nonverbal cues.
