Chapter 5 discusses the importance of audience analysis and audience adaption in the speech development process. Audience analysis means that you pay attention to audience's feedbacks through facial expressions. Adapting to the audience's feedbacks is called audience adaption. Audience analysis and adaption is important because in order to have a favorable outcome with your speech. You, as the speaker, are responsible for keeping the audience interested in your speech. The importance of audience adaption is that you adapt to the audience's needs. If they are falling asleep on you, you must come up with a strategic way to wake them up and make them interested in your project!
I plan on using audience analysis in my speech by making sure I am watching the audience as I am giving my speech. If they seem like they are bored, or not listening, I will try to use some sort of stragety to get them interested again!

Colie,
ReplyDelete"If they seem like they are bored, or not listening, I will try to use some sort of stragety to get them interested again!" Haha, good one. I believe that's an effective strategy, especially if you can pull it off. I know for a fact that I can't do it because I tend to get even more nervous when I see my audience start to get bored. Adapting to the audience is still one of the most important ideas in speech though, because without the audience, you're just speaking to yourself!
I don't know, but it seems as though you're able to do this on whim! As much as I agree with you and your definition of what audience adaptation is, I wish I could execute what I believe!
Anyways, I look forward to your upcoming speech, good luck Colie.
