Chapter 7: Understanding Your Audience



¢  Research your audience & their attitude on your topic
  • Use direct observation
  • Conduct a survey to see what they already think about your topic
  • Conduct an interview
  • Use common sense


¢  Analyze the audience demographics
  • What is the average age of your audience?
  • What different ethnicities are represented? What proportions?
  • What religious groups are represented?
  • What genders are represented?
The big take home message from this chapter is simple: Adapt your language and style to suit your audience.

You Rock!
