See “Truncate Silence”: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/truncate_silence.html
A caution here. Audacity doesn’t “know” what silence is. All it knows is sound higher or lower than a set value. Your recordings don’t have “silence,” either. They have your show, stuff and background noise. It’s up to you to adjust settings so Truncate removes the right thing.
What normally happens is the desired volumes are too close to the background noise and Truncate Silence goes through the presentation willy-nilly chopping off stuff you really wanted.
Most people want the software to listen to the work and decide by advanced analysis what’s silence. Audacity is not the program for you.
