Persuasive Speech

I did better on this speech, then the others. I had fewer uhs and ums. I still need to work on posture and making more of an effort to stand up straight. My hand gestures were better this time, but they were not fluid enough and looked nervous. I did a little better on eye contact, but I still missed the edge of the room. I also had better voice projection. Overall, when I gave this speech, I appeared somewhat more confident, and definitely more passionate about my topic.

My informative speech

My informative speech was not very good. I need to work on my posture. I need to stand up straight and uncross my arms. I also need to work on not saying um and uh. I didn't make eye contact hardly at all. I also didn't sound enthusiastic. I looked very nervous. I didn't use hand gestures either.
