place. A light touch here and there is all right but humour cannot replace good
ideas.
8. Should you use any visual aids?
If they make your speech easier to understand, yes. But make them clear and
simple. Don’t laboriously read out aloud what is written on your visuals. Make
sure that everyone can see them, even from the back of the room.
9. How long should the presentation be?
The best thing is to take only as much time as is necessary. The only thing worse
than being long and boring is being too short and not fully understood.
10. What are the audience’s feelings and opinions toward the topic of your speech?
For the purpose of persuasive speaking it will be necessary to learn as much as
possible about how they feel and why they feel that way in order to do a good job
preparing your persuasive speech. You can expect your listeners to feel one of
three ways about the topic you choose for your persuasive speech:
a) They Might Agree Completely.
If this is the case, you must choose a different topic for your persuasive
speech.
b) They Might Be Indifferent.
Your audience may have the attitude “Who cares?” If this is the case, you
must find out why they are indifferent or uninterested in the topic. In your speech
you will need to convince them:
1. to be interested in the opinion you are presenting;
2. that it is important to consider;
3. that they should adopt your opinion.
c) They Might Disagree Completely.
They have the opposite opinion from yours or one which is completely different.
If this is the case, you must find out their specific reasons for disagreeing with
your opinion. In your speech, you will need to convince them that their specific
reasons for disagreeing with the claim you are making are not good reasons. The
following Survey of Opinions Form can be used as a guide for audience analysis
for the purpose of persuasive speaking.
