Helpful Chapter Information
This chapter was mainly the key to successful speaking. Although there were many helpful concepts in this chapter I am only going to talk about a few. I really liked the many different topics about the audience because it shows that the audience is very important and it is not all about you! The main thing I liked in the audience sections was the section connecting to a diverse audience because most audiences these days are diverse so I found that paragraph to be extremely helpful. In fact our class is probably diverse as well so I will be able to use this on the class. Also something that stood out in this chapter was trustworthiness. An audience is more attentive to a speaker that seems credible and this chapter explained that trustworthiness is key. I agree with that because if someone speaking was constantly contradicting themselves, I know for a fact I would be turned off from the message and automatically assume the speaker is not credible. This chapter was very helpful and I plan on using most if not all of the concepts that were mentioned.

Hey
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the audience is very important because they are the ones who have to listen to the speaker. It is not all about the speaker it’s about what the audience can gain from the speaker. That is the reason for a speaker to speak is to inform, persuade, or entertain the audience. I also agree that trustworthiness is really important because if you don’t believe the speaker is credible then there is no point listening to them. You have some good point in the reading and I can’t wait until Friday so we can finally hear each others speeches.
Hello beautiful! You mentioned quite a few good concepts here. How exactly do you plan on implementing these concepts into your first speech? What kinds of things will you be adding to your speech? Or, what type of behaviors will you be exhibiting during your speech to keep your audience interested and informed?
ReplyDeleteHey beautiful,
ReplyDeleteThe concepts that you said are important and I also think that these will help you in your speech. Not only that, we will be able to have a closer look of what our audience actually wants. Other than that, as you say you will use these concepts in your speech, good luck and I hope that using these concepts will help you as you make your speech
