I’m going show you an activity you can do later develop some topic ideas for an informative speech…

…But first, we’ll talk about some general things you might want consider when picking topic for any presentation.

1. You have consider your audience…

…You’re speaking for their sake, not yours.

…You might think your topic is interesting…you may think it’s funny, exciting…

…If your audience doesn’t feel same way…no matter how good your presentation is…

…It’s a failure.

Analyzing an audience for presentation is no different than analyzing audience if you were in Advertising, Marketing, or any other Business.

Take Marketing, for example.

-WNBA

NEW Marketing plan: Women’s basketball players perfect blend feminine grace & athleticism

Or take politics.

-If you were political consultant & were asked develop advertisements for particular candidate’s campaign…

…You’d have analyze your audience and decide how they feel about number of issues:

*America World’s Police Force vs. Isolationist Preference
*Strict Trade Laws vs. Free Trade/Free Market
*Religious vs. Not Religious
*Poor vs. Wealthy
*Urban Residents vs. Rural Residents…etc.
