Alright, so let’s just say we have a speech ready to
go. You’ve provided a reasonable argument, included creditable sources, and
given the audience an example of what it is you’re trying to explain. Now how
come they’re not moved by your persuasive research? Well, you’ve got one half
of the situation right, but you might have forgotten the important of how the
audience feels about the topic. The attitude of what you are trying to convey,
based on the issues, and might not be reigniting with the audience’s belief. It
is important to set a positive setting for your audience when giving a
standpoint in a speech. Sure, you could be discussing the importance of
legalizing same sex marriage, but you should always try to keep a positive
attitude in mind. For instance, you could give the history of negative consequences
it’s had on social and political matters, but you should also bring into the how
society, legalizing same sex marriage, can make a positive change for future
generations. In short, make sure your attitude reflects that of your
audience.
I completely agree. The audience has to relate to what the top is saying. The example you gave on legalizing same sex marriage is a great topic and is highly controversial. Not everyone is going to be for a positive outlook while others might be completely on your side. Either way, they are listening and thinking in their heads what their beliefs are. Any topic can be interesting. As I wrote in my post, the topic isn't the aspect of interest. Someone could have an amazing topic, but if the speech isn't organized properly, the interest is lost anyway. Great post!
