Audience Analysis
Plan with hearers in mind Know audience demographics Realize that your speech is
surrounded by listener expectations
![Page 31: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Organizing the Message
Formulate a thesis statement: 1 sentence
Prepare the speech by outlining first: Intro, Body, Conclusion
Intro is extremely important Welcome Prayer
![Page 32: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Introduction after Prayer
Rhetorical Question Startling Statement Interesting Quotation Illustration or Story Humorous Anecdote
![Page 33: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Preview Material for Audience Formula: “Tell them what you are going to
say, say it, tell them what you said.” Remember, we are fast thinkers--mind
wanders Lots of repetition 3 Main Ideas Amplify 3 Ideas with
Additional info Resources Stats Examples: Personal
![Page 34: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Build in Transitions, let people know where you are going next
Make conclusion clear with a transition
Ending should be good, tie it together
![Page 35: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Delivering the Message “Extemporaneous Speaking” is not “off the
cuff” Plan the speech well, use an outline If you have to use a manuscript:
Short Paragraphs Stiff paper, type on one side only, clearly
numbered Rehearse often Take your time, vary your speed, concentrate
on ideas not words
![Page 36: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Memorization is dangerous If you are called to do a
spontaneous talk, remember the W’s: Who, What, Why, When, Where
Be positive, the audience is on your side
Intro, Body, Conclusion
![Page 37: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

![Page 45: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Characteristics of Low and High Context Communication Styles
Based on Beyond Culture by Edward T. Hall
![Page 46: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Low Context Individual Oriented rely on explicit coding of information being
communicated; less aware of contexts linear logic adjust to new situation quickly conflict may occur because of violations of
individual expectations deal with conflict by revealment direct, confrontational attitude fact finding focus on action and solution open, direct strategies
![Page 47: Communicating Effectively The Effective DRE A Skills Development Series](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7b5503460f94b7cbe8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
High Context group-oriented rely heavily on the physical context or the shared
context of the transmitter and receiver; very little is in the coded, explicit, transmitted part of the message
spiral logic take time for contexting in new situation conflict may occur because of violations of collective
expectations deal with conflict by concealment indirect, non-confrontational attitude face saving focus on relationship ambiguous, indirect strategies
