1-Speaking in public is different from a conversation. Write a response that defines and distinguishes these two types of communication, addressing a topic from your personal life or current events. 2-Explain the importance of audience demographics. Describe why audience analysis is important and how it can affect or change your presentation. How might audience demographics change with a change in geographic location? Be specific, with all the details to support your ideas. 3-Write a paragraph that describes the process of determining the general and specific objective of a speech. Start by selecting a topic that interests you, such as downloading music digitally or creating a perfume. Then, with your topic, compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the two processes and use both general and specific purpose examples. Justify your writing with details of your selected topic. Using your creativity is recommended. 4-What are some of the ways you can establish credibility with your audience? Why is it so important in your speech? 5- What have you learned about creating an outline/outline of your speech? Discuss the importance of identifying general purpose, specific purpose, central idea, and organizing your main points. Don't just provide definitions of terms. Discuss what you have learned and how you will apply that knowledge to creating your own outline. 6- Why is it important to know how to listen, both for the audience and for the speaker? Provide two real or hypothetical examples of situations where listening does not apply and discuss the examples using a listening checklist to demonstrate what went wrong. 7 - Describe a speech or presentation where speaker volume was a problem (exclude examples of AV system malfunctions). How does that experience affect the topic and the speaker? Why is it important to consider and ensure proper voice, volume, pitch, rhythm, pauses, variety, pronunciation, articulation, and proper slang dialect when preparing a speech? You may draw on actual experiences or create a hypothetical scenario to complete this discussion.
