In my persuasive speech about watching pornography and its effects of society, my delivery was not as well structured and developed as I would have liked. Although my vocal inflections were well done, my speech was very fast paced. Delivering my speech in front of the class was my first time presenting; practicing my speech more in the future could help with the flow and pace of my speech.

I could have used that extra minute if I had slowed down my arguments earlier on in the speech. The positive aspect is that I had it within the time frame. In the future, my practice and a clearer outline will assist me in forming a more professional
