Sherard wrote: "It is important to know and analyze our audience so you are able to draw personal connections."Yes!
Denny wrote: "We need to know our audience or else what we say may alienate them or our point may not get across to them."As always, context is clearly important when trying to relate to the audience.
Christian wrote: "Understanding an audience is important because a speaker would find it helpful when either trying to persuade the audience on a topic or inform them on another. That way, a speaker is able to appea..." That is so true-- a speaker can only be credible to an audience if they know their likes and dislikes.

Not only it helps the speaker chose the right and fitting diction for the audience, but it gives the speaker careful control over his/her own words to appeal to the audience's reactions.

Tristan wrote: "It is important to analyze our audience before hand because different people appeal to different things. If you write a speech that only appeals to a third of an audience, you did not analyze them..."Good point Tristan!
Jessica wrote: "It is important to know and analyze our audience because it let's us appeal to them in the best way possible. Knowing their opinions on your topic let's you know what side to take if there is a bi..."I completely agree with Jessica. Without knowing the opinions of our topic, we have no way of appealing to the audience.
Smitty wrote: "It is important to know the audience so then the speaker knows exactly how to appeal to them and what diction to use that they will understand the most. It can also help the speaker be prepared for..."That's a good thought, I forgot about that.
Rachel wrote: "If you don't know your audience, your presentation is bound to be unsuccessful. You must understand where the audience stands, how they feel and what they want in order to make them feel like you a..."Yes!
It is important to know and analyze our audience so we know what kind of people we are appealing to when we talk. We can then change what we say in order to make it more persuasive to them, so they will support our ideas more. During the speech you need to analyze your audience because if they seem like they are not interested, change a few points about what they are talking about to make it more appealing to them. After a speech, analyze how they felt about it by opening up the floor to questions and offering to answer all.

It is important to analyze your audiance before, during, and after a presentation because audiances can change frequently. if you adapt as the audiance does, you will have a successful speech!I like your point james!

By analyzing the audience, an author can base his/her writing on the interests of the decade. When analyzing the audience before doing a presentation, the author can change the work to appeal to the public. By doing so during and after the presentation, the work will continue to adapt and and adjust to further interests. This is important because it allows you to apply the rhetorical triangle in everything you write.

Smitty wrote: "It is important to know the audience so then the speaker knows exactly how to appeal to them and what diction to use that they will understand the most. It can also help the speaker be prepared for..."I agree with Smitty hands down. Diction helps us connect with the audience because depending on the audience, one's word choice will differ.

If an author has an audience in mind or know their audience’s characteristics well, they relay ideas by using language and tone that their audience will understand and appreciate.
It's important to analyze audience before reaching out and communicating so we know how to manipulate them properly. Reality is harsh, but that's why we analyze: How can I best manipulate this person?

I didn't even think about it, but diction is a great thing to think about when analyzing your audience. You could also use definitions so that everyone is on the same page and you don't have poor communication.
