Demographic Audience Analysis
when analyzing demographic audience
important to avoid stereotyping , the wrong perception to some group
example :
fat person is lazy and like to eat
consists of 2 steps
1. identifying the general demographic features of your audience
2. gauging the importance of those features to a particular speaking situation
when we give the public speaking in front of the people whe should pay
attention to
• Age
we should give lhe limit of the age (mostly in their late teens and early
twenties , 40% of college students today are age 19 or older … then we
are able to be focus on there what we are talking about
ex.
if we speak to an audience of college students in Indonesia and casually
talking about WATERGATE they may not know about what are u talking
about. bacaue this story is about the name used for the politic scandal in
American
• religion
- we know that religion is most emotionally of all human concerns. not
only in Indonesia but aos in other countries. there a lot of religions
such as muslims, buddhies, hindus, orthodox and others…
- that’s why be sure to consider the religious orientation of your
listeners if you’re talking in front of the common religion of audinces
u may not speak about one of the religion who are able to offend them
and it will have an effect about their respect to u.
• racial, ethnic, cultural background
- be sensitive to issues of race, ethnicity, cultural background
- be aware of your listeners
because it will affect their attitude toward your speech topic. try to
gauge what those perspektives are and how they will be likely to
affect the audience’s response to your message
- adjust the remarks, so the will be as clear, suitable to your speech and
full of attention to yours
• gender and sexual orientation
- keep an eye out for language
ex. homosexual
of course we live together and there must be the people choose their
life as gay men and lesbians. so we should avoid about our remarks.
because effective public speakers take all these demographic factors
into account when preparing their remarks
and the last obout ;
• group membership
the first is what we already talking about, is that
- age, religion, racial, ethnic, cultural background, gender and sexual
orientation
and the second about
- occupation, economic position, social standing education, place of
residence
indeed anything characteristic of a given audience is potentially important to a
speakers addressing the audience.
and perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind about demographic
audience analysis is not the end it self your aim is not just to list the major traits
of your listeners but to find in those traits clues about how your listeners will
respond to your speech. and the last combine demographic audience analysis
with situational analysis… and it will be deliver with ms Claudia .
