Before you start writing any kind of document or speech, the first thing you must think about is who is my audience and what am I trying get across. This is going to help you get started on your paper and it will keep you focused throughout the writing process. The first step in analyzing your audience is to classify each reader or listener based on his or her knowledge of the subject. In every case, you should approach the audience as if they have no knowledge on content, even if they are educated on it. Below are some tips to use when analyzing your audience.
1. What is the age? Age is very important in analyzing your audience because it is different when you are speaking to teenagers than adults. You must take the age into account before you begin your assignment.
2. Gender , are you speaking to men or women or both. Depending on the topic each gender can have their own opinions toward certain views. Analyzing the gender is very important.
3. How will the information your present help your audience.
4. How knowledgeable is your audience on the topic.
5. What are some facts that they need to know or want to know in order to understand you proposal.

I have seen so many speakers get up and talk without any sense of who they are talking to. They address the crowd the exact same way everytime they get up for a presentaion, regardless of age, gender, or background. From personal experience I know you have to get to the level of those who are listening. These are some great ideas as to how to do that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIts definitely dull watching a presenter talk to people when what they are speaking about does not directly relate whatsoever. It doesn't make any sense to be listening to them and then individuals, like myself, get distracted and lose focus on what is going on. Those are some great tips to fix that. Good job on posting a picture as well!
ReplyDeleteSome sort of conclusion is necessary, Ervin, to wrap things up. You probably shouldn't end with the last item on the list. I like the list, however.
