What is meant by ‘good acoustics’? What makes some spaces carry sound so well, that a person doesn’t need to speak or sing very loudly to be heard way back?

Think about a pool full of water. When you splash, the waves move away from you, hit the walls, and bounce off.

Sound does the same thing, invisibly.

Waves (sound or water) will bounce differently, depending on the shape of the walls and the material they’re made of.

Good acoustics just means that the waves bounce in a way that helps hear, without causing overlap or choppy waves.
