Audience Adaptation. Overview. Audience analysis involves identifying the audience and adapting a speech to their interests, level of understanding, attitudes, and beliefs. Taking an audience-centered approach is important because a speakerâs effectiveness will be improved if the presentation is created and delivered in an appropriate manner.
Adapting a speech to an audience is not the same thing as simply telling an audience what they want to hear. Audience analysis does not mean âgrandstandingâ or âkowtowingâ to a public. Rather, adaptation guides the stylistic and content choices a speaker makes for a presentation.
