Persuasive Speech Critique

Upon reviewing my speech, I have pinpointed the strengths and weaknesses of my presentation. While I do make use of relevant resources and data, I do not offer many counter arguments, making my speech appear biased. This could have been prevented by supplying opposing viewpoints that support drug war policies.
Following the slide layout provided some structure on the history and impact of drug war policies. The format does not have a consistent flow, leaving some slides up longer than others, and some slides did not necessarily relate specifically to what I was describing. It is hard to communicate and expand beyond what is on the slides without having a script or outline to read from.
The speech goes well beyond the 5 minute limitation, proving that I did not efficiently discuss my ideas in a sequential and connected flow. Having a more basic yet still thorough slide structure perhaps would have kept me more on course for delivering the speech in the appropriate amount of time. Following a more simplified structure would have provided a better organizational strategy for the audience, as well as for my own benefit of staying on track.
My attention is focused on the audience, but not 100% of the time, as I am seen looking toward the computer and projection screen to help combat my speech anxiety. This is not a productive or attractive method for maintaining interest from the audience. My transitions are clumsy and need to have better bridges to connect together my main points.
Overall, I feel that my performance was too casual and wandering. My strength is that I clearly state my position, but my weakness is that I do not provide alternative viewpoints in order to better support my position. I will be mindful of these characteristics in order to improve and develop my speech writing and delivering skills.
