The Benefits of Understanding Your Audience
• Knowing your audience— age, gender education level, religion, language and
culture and group membership —is the single most important aspect of
developing your speech.
• Analyzing your audience will help discover information to create a link to establish
common ground between you and the audience.
• A key characteristics of the audience in public speaking situations is the unequal
distribution of speaking time. What does this mean? The speaker talks
much, much more and the audience listens often without asking questions or
responding with any feedback.

4. Analyzing Your Audience > The Importance of Audience Analysis
What to Look For
• A speaker should look at his or her own values, beliefs, attitudes, and biases that
may influence his or her perception of others.
• Guard against egocentrism. A speaker must not regard his or her own opinions
or interests as being the most important or valid.
• Look at others to understand their background, attitudes, and beliefs.
• Focus on audience demographics such as age, gender, sexual
orientation, education, religion, and other relevant population characteristics to
analyze the audience.
• The depth of the audience analysis depends of the size of the intended audience
and the method of delivery.

5. Analyzing Your Audience > The Importance of Audience Analysis
What to Do with Your Knowledge
• A successful speaker is able to step outside her own perceptual framework to
understand the world as it is perceived by members of her audience.
• The speaker engages in a process of first encoding his or her ideas from thoughts
into words, then forming a message to be delivered to a group of listeners, or
audience. The audience members attempt to decode what the speaker is saying
so that they can understand it.
• The better the speaker knows the members of the audience beforehand, the
better the speaker can encode a message in a way that the audience can decode
successfully.
Encoding communication
• One of the most useful strategies for adapting your topic and message to your

audience is to use the process of identification to find common ground with them.
• You can use your analysis to create a theoretical, imagined audience of
individuals from the diverse backgrounds you have discovered in your audience
analysis. Then you can decide whether or not the content will appeal to individuals
within that audience.

7. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Age
• Individuals who grow up at the same time are a generation and often share many
of the same experiences as others of the same age group. They exhibit a set of
shared values, beliefs, and attitudes that are important to consider when
preparing a speech.
• When you speak to an audience with members of different ages, you are likely to
experience a generation gap.
• As new generations seek to define themselves as something apart from the
old, they adopt new lingo and slang, allowing a generation to create a sense of
division from the previous one.
• It is important to become aware of one’s own biases in order to avoid ageism in

8. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Gender
• It is important to remember that since birth, we have been conditioned to make
the distinction between men and women, masculinity and femininity.
• Advertisers create "gendered environments" in everything from children’s toys to
motor vehicles.
• Gender neutral language and gender inclusive language aims to eliminate (or
neutralize) reference to gender in terms that describe people.
• One must guard against gender discrimination and stereotyping members of the
audience.

9. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Sexual Orientation
• There are three main classifications of sexual orientation: bisexual, heterosexual
and homosexual, all a part of the heterosexual–homosexual continuum.
• Most sexual orientation specialists follow the general conclusion of Alfred Kinsey
regarding the sexual continuum, according to which a minority of humans are
exclusively heterosexual or homosexual, and that the majority are bisexual.
• Sexual orientation, in most individuals, is shaped at an early age and is not
voluntarily changeable.
• The speaker should become aware of and compensate for the bias of
heteronormativity which holds that people fall into distinct and complementary

10. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Education
• As your prepare your speech, ask yourself what do the members of the audience
already know about the topic.
• Do not assume that your audience will know something just because you do.
• Look for audience cues (i.e. the questions they ask) to identify knowledge gaps.

11. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Religion
• Individuals who practice a religion have belief systems and worldviews that relate
humanity to spirituality and moral values.
• Since the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution allows the existence of
religious pluralism in the U.S., you are likely to encounter audience members of
different religions.
• There are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. The five largest religious groups by
population are Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Chinese folk religion.
• Understanding the religions in your audience will help you relate to members of
the audience more directly and avoid excluding members who may not observe

12. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Culture, Ethnicity, and Race
• The simplest way to think about culture is to think about the distinction between
nature (our biology and genetics) and nurture (our environment and surroundings
that also shape our identities).
• In terms of race an individual is usually externally classified (meaning someone
else makes the classification) but individual may also self-identify with a particular
racial group.
• Unlike race, ethnicity is not usually externally assigned by other individuals. The
term ethnicity focuses more upon a group's connection to a perceived shared past
and culture.
Culture
• The cultural, racial and ethnic makeup of the United States is becoming more

diversified and audiences will reflect that diversity as the population continues to
shift.
• In order to adapt the message to the audience it is important to become aware of
one’s own ethnocentrism and to avoid prejudice and racism.

13. Analyzing Your Audience > Demographic Factors to Consider
Group Membership
• Foreknowledge of the audience's affiliations and the associated
values, beliefs, and attitudes will help the speaker prepare the message.
• Group members can classify their membership in two categories: primary
(familyor fraternal organizations) and secondary (clubs, associations, or colleges).
• Generally speaking the longer and more actively one is involved with a group the
more likely the member is to share ideas and profess beliefs shared by other
group members.

15. Analyzing Your Audience > Contextual Factors to Consider
Physical Context
• Consider three possible contexts—traditional speaker face-to-face audience, and
computer mediated—speaker with live audience to remote locations(s) and a
speaker with no live audience to different locations by video conferencing
technology.
• The physical context for the co-located audience is the setting or room where you
speak. Ask whether you are indoors or outdoor, the size and arrangement of the
seating, the significance of the location and occasion, the time of day for the
speech and what equipment is available.
• Checking out the physical context will allow you to adjust your speech and plan so
you are not attempting to borrow or move equipment before getting up to speak.
• Speakers may use a videoconferencing system—with video camera or webcam
with microphone for input, output through monitor or TV with speakers or

• Non-portable videoconferencing is used in large rooms or dedicated conferencing
rooms with all required components packaged into an equipment console and

16. Analyzing Your Audience > Contextual Factors to Consider
Overall Psychology of Your Audience:
Values, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Needs
• Look at the psychology of the individual audience members to determine how
they might respond as a group to the speech's ideas.
• The overall psychographic of the audience includes the current state of
values, beliefs, attitudes, and needs, and is not concerned with how the person
developed them.
• Use knowledge of the values, attitudes, beliefs, and needs of members of your
audience to develop and describe a psychographic profile in order to tailor a
message specifically to the audience.

17. Analyzing Your Audience > Contextual Factors to Consider
Favorability of the Audience toward You and Your Topic
• Your audience is likely to have an opinion about you prior to the speech. What is
your favorability rating with your audience?
• To find favorability ratings about national topics, look at opinion polls on the
attitudes of large group of people that may represent or include your audience.
• To find favorability ratings about local community topics, conduct a survey with
your audience or informally mine online data for negative and positive sentiments
among your social media friends and followers,who may be similar to your
audience.

18. Analyzing Your Audience > Contextual Factors to Consider
Knowledgeability of the Audience about Your Topic
• Discovering knowledgeability, the state or condition of possessing
knowledge, involves careful assessment by the speaker prior to, during and after
the speech.
• Assess prior knowledge (what your audience already knows) so that you can
adjust your content. Ask yourself: How much does my audience already know
about my topic? Where do you start you explanation?
• Assess formative knowledge (knowledge forming in the mind of the audience
during the speech) to adjust what you are saying. . If your audience is
confused, try again to explain what you were saying in different words or with
better supporting examples.

20. Analyzing Your Audience > Adapting to Your Audience
Solicit Information
• Use direct observation of members of the potential audience to find out about
them and collect data through interviews,surveys and rating scales for opinions.
• Direct observation allows you to get to know the members of the audience
personally by using your own senses such as hearing, sight and perhaps smell.
• An interview is a conversation between two people (the interviewer and the
interviewee) for obtaining information by asking open, closed, mirror and probing
questions.
• The basic questionnaire is a survey consisting of a series of questions and other
prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents in your

• Use a Likert-type rating scale of attitudes to find out how strongly the audience
agrees or disagrees with your thesis. For example, Public Speaking is my favorite
subject. (Circle one) 1.Strongly disagree 2.Disagree 3.Neither agree nor disagree
4.Agree 5.Strongly agree.

21. Analyzing Your Audience > Adapting to Your Audience
Make Adjustments
• Use the information about the specific audience to adapt the message to the
audience while preparing a speech.
• Consider ways to find common ground with the audience in order to adapt
analogies, vocabulary, quoted sources of authority, and dialect to the
audience, while also avoiding jargon.
• With a face-to-face audience in a small room, observe the non-verbal reactions
such as looks of confusion or expressions of agreement or disagreement.
• With a large face-to-face audience or a remote audience, use an audience
response system or SMS via cell phone to collect responses and respond to
questions.
