Just a quick addition to Dr. Ramig's fine post. In situations where the person is speaking before a group, like acting (or the aforementioned delivering a sermon, probably a better example), there is often less communicative pressure (in an interpersonal sense). No one else is talking. Hence, no one else can dictate the rate of speech, or interrupt, or finish the speaker's sentences. I have often thought that speaking to my classes was easier (and involved fewer breakdowns) than talking to someone one-on-one.
