The Speaker uses ethos to engage that audience. The example of ethos in Danielle Speech is “I have always loved math and science, later, coding. And so I decided to study computer programming in college. In my junior year, my computer graphics professor showed us these wonderful short films. It was the first computer animation any of us had ever

To keep things simple, people simply want to be heard, and they will do anything in order for their audience to listen. There are various ways in which the speaker would gain the right to be heard. Former Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, uses various forms to obtain attention from her audience as she addresses the Louisiana Legislator on Hurricane Katrina where she not only discusses the effects of the hurricane but also acknowledges the people who have helped out so far.

Audience analysis is described as the process of examining information about your listeners. Then using that analysis helps you adapt your message so that your listeners will respond as you wish (Steven A. and Susan J. Beebe, 2015). It is highly important to read your audience when presenting a speech, the first thing I noticed about my classroom audience was everyone has a good sense of humor and were open minded as to what they might be hearing. In this paper I will be analyzing my classroom audience and describing how they might react to my speeches and what is the best way to present my speeches. I will discuss the differences between each person and how their views will shape my speeches as a whole because ultimately I must appeal to my audience.

Before the argument begins, the persuader needs to know what his audience is thinking, their values, and their views.

After a speech on a topic that required more research than you had time to do, you should indicate this shortcoming in your conclusion by saying, “Unfortunately I wasn't able to spend the necessary time researching.”

If a writer wanted to appeal to the audience, what would he have to do? He is going to have to utilize some rhetorical devices of course! Rhetorical devices are key in writing persuasion papers and just any paper that is meant to be read to an audience. In the Inauguration Speech of 1961 given by President John F. Kennedy, he was able to really connect with his audience that day by using lots of different rhetorical devices. By using chiasmus, anaphoras, and metaphors, JFK was able to effectively reach and persuade people to have faith in him despite his age and religion.

Increasing the power and impact of speaking through behaviors to avoid and skills to master stands the perceived thesis of Julian Treasure’s TED Talks on “How to speak so that people want to listen” (2013). Likening the human voice to learning how to master an instrument, Treasure immediately establishes ethos with his heterogeneous audience by focusing his main idea on a simple, highly relatable topic, with dynamism, directness, and a palatable sense of expertise. Strategically applying non-repetitious doses of anecdotes to support his claims, the weighty supporting ideas are lightened and balanced creating ease of listening – audience members respond with laughs and smiles solidifying their bond and entertainment to the topic.

Provide a description of your audience (e.g., its demographics like age, gender, ethnicity, etc. as well as any other information about them that impacts the way you plan and present the speech (see the textbook, pp. 618–628).

I used suspense for my attention getting device. The suspense wasn’t first however, I started with a connection with the audience. I talked about fake news, a phrase that everyone has heard about. I then grabbed the with suspense when I said October 31, 1938 was a historic night of fake news. I think my phrase grabbed a lot of attention from the audience. I saw two people look up after I said fake news. After I told them about how October 31, 1938 was a historic night of fake news. I know it cause some information hunger, because when I got done with my speech. Class had ended and couple classmates after class asked me about the play.

Speeches have been used for a long time to communicate to multitudes since they are declared as one of the most effective forms of relating information. Ideally, the specificity of speech ensures the audience has a hint of the data conveyed and is likely to memorize critical parts. For example, “I have a dream” by Martin Luther King is a memorial speech that was delivered on august 28, 1963 and many people have a historic review of the text (Mattern and Allan 28). However, the outcome would not have been effective if it were delivered as a written argument. Additionally, listeners immediately reflect on the fundamental aspects of the dialogue and react. Innately, there was prompt feedback as more people registered their

If the audience is able to relate to the topic the speech is about, the audience is more likely to listen and understand the

Why is this speech topic relevant to the audience (why should we listen to this speech)?

My introduction begins with a video in which a child asks her mother why he is so fat. It is a good start to get the attention of audience and clarify what the speech topic is about.

In public speaking of any form to a diverse group of individuals, my main consideration as the speaker is my concentration on the audience that I am speaking to. In starting an effective presentation,
