Audience Analysis and Adaption

2). Discuss the importance of audience analysis and audience adaptation in the speech development process. Also, discuss how YOU plan on using audience analysis in your speech.

Audience analysis is important because it can really help a nervous speaker when delivering a speech, and I am most definitely a nervous speaker. When you use audience analysis you get to know your audience a lot better and think of how to make them positively react to you. Since my speech is on basketball, and I'm sure everyone has seen a basketball game (on tv or at the local park) I plan on talking about the basics of the sport. With audience adaption, it is important because if you are able to find out any information about who your audience is, you should use it to keep them interested and engaged. I have mentioned basketball in several of my blogs, previously, and when my classmates commented they sounded interested in basketball too. So I'm really excited about that!! I am going to use the comments they gave me to develop my speech and keep them interested in my topic! =)
