comparing first and last speeches

I thought that I improved throughout all of the speeches. I look up a lot more than I used to except I still occassionally read my note card. I look a lot more confident in my later speech than I did the first one, I don't seem as nervous. My voice is a lot clearer and understandable. My hand gestures also improved along with my enthusiasm. Overall I would say this class has helped my in my public speaking skills very much.
