Audience Analysis and Audience Adaption

It is very important to analyze and adapt to the audience you are speaking in front of because these are the people that can benefit from your information. To analyze your audience is to study the audience you are speaking to and plan accordingly. You're probably thinking what do you mean plan accordingly? There are several ways of planning based of a variety of aspects of the audience. A few of those aspects include race, gender, culture, and age. Although there are other ways to target you audience these are the top four that I think if properly targeted, you will gain your audience's attention and keep it. For example if you were speaking in front of a group of kindergardeners, you would make sure to keep there attention and talk about things that are fun as well as have a lot of props that way you can keep them engaged. Because I am going to be speaking in front of people that are around my age, I know that I can speak at a higher level since we are all educated and also I will use a lot of methods of attention grabbing because I know people especially at this age tend to get bored and uninterested very quickly.
