How to Get the Audience Response You Want
How to Get the Audience Response You Want
Begin by writing a few short statements about the response you hope to generate from the audience. This can be determined by analyzing the purpose of your speech or presentation from two perspectives.
-
The General Purpose:
- To interest or amuse the audience.
- To inform or teach the audience.
- To stimulate or impress the audience.
- To convince or persuade the audience.
Decide into which category your speech or presentation is to fall and ensure you meet that need.
-
The Specific Purpose:
- Think of the specific purpose variously as the main idea or central thought of your speech; the point you wish to make; what you want the audience to carry away with them; or the special angle to your approach.
- Make sure your specific purpose contains one thought and only one thought, is simple, easily understood, easily remembered, and calculated to arouse interest.
