Good Morning Everybody,
Let us discuss the importance of audience analysis, which I know nothing about. I could see how tailoring your speech to your specific audience can make them more interested in what you have to say. If the audience feels that the message in your speech is just for them, it might make them feel important and more likely to listen to what you are saying. I can say from personal experience, if I feel somebody is saying something that does not pertain to me, I tend to become uninterested and tune out whatever the person is saying.
After reading about how a speaker should also try to research his audience, I do not really like the idea of having to give speeches. I am not really a research person, and all the work and effort having to put into delivering a speech, to me is exhausting.
More power to those people who enjoy and do a good job at research and are able to deliver a great speech.

Hello The Blabbering Student!,
I would have to say I definitely agree with you when you stated that the speaker's speech should relate to their audience. No one wants to sit through a speech that they feel they can not relate to. I also tend to tune the speaker out when I feel what they are talking about is unrelevant to me. Your speech should be made around your audience. If you want to have crowd interaction and you want everyone to pay attention, then you should definitely try to relate to them. Me and you have a lot of similarities because I also do not like giving speeches. I would also like to give my speech in an empty room, but then again when you think about it, thats not a speech. lol... But hopefuly we both will overcome this fear of public speaking after this class. But I highly doubt I will, because I have been doing public speaking since I was 16 and I still get scared and nervous everytime I have to speak in front of people. But I am sure nervous or not you will do very well on your presentation and I wish you the best of luck!
