With each speech I gave, I believe I improved with not only my delivery but also my content in each speech. My introductions and conclusions became stronger with each speech.

Closing my mouth, embarrassed, I quietly attempted to clear my voice and start again. Although this time sound did escape my mouth, it was a jumbled mess. I hadn't even made it through two sentences and I had already used “like”, “um” and “and” about 20 times each.

What I Gained I previously performed a 30 second commercial in front of my theatre class. I was nervous at first because I always stumble over my words, so it is hard for people to understand what I am saying. but my overall performance to be was good, to be the first.
