Short answer
1. Describe two ways a persuasive speech differs from an informative speech.
An informative speech's main goal is to enlighten the audience and provide them fresh
knowledge or perspectives on a certain subject. Improving the audience's comprehension and
expertise. In a sense, the speaker takes on the role of an educator or informant, seeking to
educate the audience without necessarily promoting one viewpoint over another. A persuasive
speech differs from other types of speeches in that its main goal is to change the opinions,
attitudes, or actions of the audience. Persuading the audience to adopt the speaker's point of
view or choose one course of action is the goal. In an advocacy role, the speaker pushes the
audience to adopt a specific stance or course of action. An persuasive speech usually requires
minimal participation from the audience. Conversely, a pesuasive speech demands a deep
commitment from the listener. The speaker aims to inspire the audience to act on a certain
standpoint in addition to understanding it.

2. Describe two ways how you can decrease communication apprehension.

One strategy is to begin with low-stakes communication exercises that generate less anxiety,
such as speaking to a small group initially, and then progressively go on to more difficult
settings, such as speaking to an entire lecture classroom. The person becomes less sensitive to
the communication-related elements that cause anxiety with gradual exposure. A further
method involves identifying and examining unfavorable ideas associated with speech, including
the fear of being judged or failing. Consider if they are supported by facts or by skewed
perspectives. Positive self-talk should take the place of these negative ideas. For example,
change your perspective from one of "I will embarrass myself" to "I am fully capable of doing
this." Through this practice, people may cultivate a more productive and upbeat attitude
toward communication.
 3. Describe two factors of audience psychographics. Why they are important for your
speaking?
It is essential to know the audience's interests and hobbies in order to customize a speech's examples so
that people can resonate with it more. Including subjects related to the interests of the audience
increases participation and humanizes the speech. Since the audience is more likely to pay attention and
be receptive when the speaker covers topics, they find personally intriguing, it helps establish a
connection with them. Being mindful of the audience's values also helps the speaker avoid
unintentionally upsetting or alienating them. Additionally, by framing the speech in a way that appeals
to the values of the audience, the speaker can increase the persuasiveness and effect of their statement.

4. Describe two approaches to promote audience attentions. Provide specific examples to

illustrate your approaches.

Tell an interesting story to start off your presentation. Stories have a special power to hook
listeners, arouse feelings, and establish a bond. A compelling story may captivate audiences and
establish the mood for the presentation as a whole. Provide a personal or real-world example
of a successful team overcoming obstacles at the beginning of a presentation on the value of
collaboration in the workplace. Include photographs to enhance the visual appeal of your
presentation. Slides, pictures, and videos are examples of visual aids that may break up the
monotony of verbal communication and offer a multisensory experience that helps learners
retain the information. Use pictures, clips etc. Visuals make the content more approachable and
interesting by adding interest and assisting the audience in visualizing the topics.
