Explain the role and significance of audience analysis in public speaking.
Study the psychological condition of your audience.
Giving a speech requires more than just formulaically standing up saying some prepared words, and then sitting down. You must create a bond with your listeners; otherwise, you risk losing their collective attention. Analyzing and learning to adapt to your audience can be more worthwhile than any other preprations for your speech.
