2). Discuss the importance of audience analysis and audience adaptation in the speech development process. Also discuss how you plan on using audience analysis in your speech.
Without an audience there will be no speech. So, is it crazy to think your audience is the most important part of ones speech?? I don’t think so. Regardless how fascinating or invigorating ones speech is, without an attentive audience, you have nothing. Furthermore, if the content of your speech is not designed to be appealing to your audience, again, you are left with a terrible experience. Tailoring your speech to fit your audience requires research. First, you must identify the demographic of the audience. In other words, what type of individuals will you be speaking to. Is your audience mostly consisting of middle-aged housewives? If so, one would be hard-pressed presenting a speech on economic growth by increasing the work force. Once you have identified the audiences’ demographic, it would be wise to include a statement within the introduction that demonstrates sharing a common ground.
I’m not sure how I plan on analyzing the audience in our class. Unfortunately, I only participated in class one day. From what I remember, this class has quite the spectrum of individuals. Therefore, I intend on making note of the men, women, and ethnicity next class period.
