Persuasive Speeches Outline Template Page 6

You also may need to alter your delivery if the audience is not responding to you, as discontent can manifest itself not only in overt

comments, but in disinterest and lack of attention. In these cases, try to change your style of speech to become more engaging,

enthusiastic, and relaxed. Perhaps walking around the room or through the audience when speaking will help recapture the interest and

attention of audience members. You also might pause from your speech to tell a story or reflect on the topic in a less structured manner.

You might even consider asking for comments or questions just to break up the presentation.

In the real world, it is likely that when you are attempting to persuade an audience you will have a mix of attitudes toward you and your

topic, including favorable, unfavorable, and neutral attitudes. Adjusting to the reactions of the audience can aid you in successfully

persuading an audience.
