LESSON SUMMARY
In this lesson, we will consider the most important element of your upcoming speech: the audience. We will also consider several other factors, such as the setting where you’ll be speaking.
Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel. It is to bring another out of his bad sense into your good sense.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803–1882
