INFORMATIVE SPEECH
!2
Title: A Spring Break to Remember
Topic: I want to talk about certain rules to follow in order for a person’s vacation to be the best it can be. I want these reasons to seem fun, easy, and true through use of quotes and experiences. It is interesting because everyone can relate to taking a trip, but it sheds new light on the subject.
This will be helpful with any sort of vacation or time off.
Purpose Statement: My speech will inform the audience about how to enjoy vacations.
Audience Analysis
A. Demographics: My audience will be made up of a small group of both males and females between the ages of 18-21. Each audience member is a student at Michigan State. Some may be from Michigan, while others are from out of state or international. I think my speech will be affected a little by my audience because some of the students are in a country that is foreign to them already. However, since they are here for school and my essay focuses on travel for leisure, I don’t believe this will be a huge problem. My demographics are similar to my audience’s, so since the topic is interesting and relevant to me, I believe my audience will feel the same.
B.
Psychographics: My audience consists of all college students, so their education background is similar. I think most of my audience will be attentive because they will be evaluating my speech. Since my audience is used to difficult course work, I think they will appreciate my speech about how to relax and enjoy vacations.
C.
Verbal Considerations: My speech use informal vernacular so my audience can relate more with it. Even though I am speaking to a relatively young audience, I will not be using any slang or profanity. I want them to understand my instructions and not be distracted by
