  7. Your Responsibilities as Listeners/Audience • We take on ethical obligations as listeners • Be courteous and attentive during the speech • Listeners should avoid prejudging the speaker. • Listeners should maintain the free and open expression of ideas. • In this class our responsibilities include talking/writing to speakers after their presentations.

  8. What you said about audiences • “The person needs to know the audience. Connecting with them is key and understanding them helps with that.” • “needs to know their audience (age, level of learning, etc.)” • “the demographics they are reaching” • “how to interest a lot of rowdy people”

  9. The Rest of the Speech Communication Model • Message: the meanings we share: verbal and non-verbal • Share the topic • “What is my body saying that I am not aware of?” • Channel—what carries the message to the listener: Air? T.V.? Radio? P.A.? • Feedback—this makes communication transactional • “needs to know what they are doing well or not so well.” • “judge audience involvement and understanding”

  10. The Rest of the Speech Communication Model • Situation—the immediate event and surroundings • “facilities/location” • “speech context and what is expected in giving the speech” • “environment and possible distractions” • Interference—anything external or internal that blocks or clouds the message (or feedback) • “I want to know how to speak clearly & not have anything that gets in the way of the idea I am trying to get across” • Culture—the larger culture within which the situation takes place • “I want to learn to adapt to different audiences”
