The easiest way to improve your speaking is to study those further ahead on Speech Mountain. And the easiest way to do that - free - is to visit YouTube...

Below are five of my favorite speeches from the final round ("The Big Stage") Of Toastmasters annual World Championship of Public Speaking® (WCPS). Three highlights are noted. You will readily identify others. Do build a collection of your own favorite speeches and speakers; their skills and style are those you will likely adopt.
