Does Your Audience Understand Your Speech? If you are not focusing on your audience's needs, then you are simply speaking for the point of hearing yourself and nothing else. The articles in this section are intended to help you move beyond composing speeches because you have to and starting to compose speeches because you want the audience to understand and retain the information/knowledge that you have. Put your audience first and your speeches will take on a new level of effectiveness.

What if I told you that by using some very simple techniques that you probably already know that can increase your audience’s comprehension and retention significantly (maybe even double it)? Now what if I told you it takes very little additional effort to implement these techniques – would you want to start using them?...

I was fortunate in that I had always heard his accent. I was so accustomed to it that I literally did not (and could not) hear it. I simply heard my father’s voice. So when he began to slur his words I didn’t have the problem of the slurring on top of the accent. I merely heard my father’s voice slurred. As result, I was able to understand him more than most. |

It's quite a dichotomy that I have created here. I started off talking about the responsibility of the speaker to be understood and ended up talking about the responsibilities of the listener. So the question is, "Who is responsible for dealing with the accent?" |

As speakers, we need to do our best to minimize any accents so as to allow our audience to comprehend what we are communicating. That doesn’t mean completely eradicating an accent. It does however mean identifying and removing any extreme elements – for our audiences benefit. But how do we go about accomplishing this? |
