What will be an ideal response?


1. Gather information about your audience. You can gather some information informally, just by observing your listeners or asking general questions about them. Or you can take a more formal approach and administer a survey to obtain more specific information about them.
2. Analyze the information you have gathered. Categorize and evaluate what you have gathered to determine your listeners' psychological profile as well as to consider the occasion at which you are speaking.
3. Use your information to ethically adapt to your listeners. As the audience-centered model illustrates, each decision that you make when designing and delivering your message should consider the needs and backgrounds of your audience.
