Section 1-Rapport:
How does Obama Establish Rapport? 2008
Barack Obama creates rapport with his audience during his victory acceptance speech in a multitude of ways. In terms of structure, he opens his speech by directly addressing those in front of him, ‘Hello Chicago!’ This creates an instant link with those before him. He then goes on to address those who may have doubted his chance at victory and immediately follows this by thanking ‘the lines’ of voters who have brought him to victory. This personal approach would engage the audience and make them feel directly involved in his success.
