Having read the chapter and found that knowing your audience is one of the most important things to remember when giving your speech. A key point in knowing your audience is adapting to your settings. Being able to give your speech in front of any territory is crucial. You must be able to be heard in a large stadium or not be over bearing in a small room. Also being able to work with the different equipment in each different room helps with your presentations and being able to work with anything that is in front of you. An audience is always at different venues for different reasons and being able to know know why your audience is there is important. For example is your audience is there for a voluntary reason or for work, this will give you an idea of different specking styles. Being able to relate to your audience and keep them interested is not only important but will be the life or death of your whole presentation.
