Good public speakers always consider the needs and interests of their audience! Have you ever heard the speech which haven't touched your heart, mind and soul? Is this speech was boring and unnatural, not compatible with your life's needs?
Yes, I heard and was disappointed and my negative opinion about speaker was formed at once.
Before the speaker finally select a topic, he must think about his own interests and knowledge, the availability of resources, and the time and setting for speech. At the beginning we have to ask yourself these questions:
- how interested am I in this topic?
- what do I know about this topic?
- how relevant is this topic to my audience?
- Why do audience members need to know about this topic?
As a speaker, we have to consider our potential topic in terms of time limit and the topic's timeliness in light of current event.
We know the common problem of the majority speakers and this problem can happen to us. The common problem is not the ability to phrase the thesis. The thesis summarizes the plan for achieving the specific purpose. And specific purpose addresses how you want your speech to affect your audience. A thesis is presented in a single sentence that captures the essence of your speech, it's like the central idea. It's a good question to check yourself, "What is the central idea I want my audience to get from my speech?" That is our thesis and our success in the speech, because it is clear and everyone will able to understand what you want to tell the audience.

I always knew that considering the needs and interests of your audience was important in preparing and delivering your speech, but I never really understood what that meant until I read this. Thinking of it as yourself being the listener and recalling a previous boring or uninteresting speech, really puts it into perspective for me and I feel and this will help me in putting my next speech together. Phrasing the thesis is very important when addressing the purpose of your speech. If you don’t have a good thesis idea, you may just either bore, or confuse your audience. You really want to have your speech come off as well thought out and clear in order to keep your audience interested. Well good luck on your first speech!
