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.
Audience Analysis Factors. Audience expectations. When people become audience members in a speech situation, they bring with them expectations about the occasion, topic, and speaker. Violating audience expectations can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the speech. Imagine that a local politician is asked to speak at the memorial service for a beloved former mayor. The audience will expect the politicianâs speech to praise the life and career of the deceased.
