Ex: age range, male-female ratio, educational background and affiliations or degree program taken, nationality, economic status, academic or corporate designations b. Situation will affect the length of speech, visual aids, and formality of the situation. Ex: time, venue, occasion, and size c. Psychology will let the writer know which appeal to use and how to situate his/ her text in the context of the audience. Ex: (values, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, cultural and racial ideologies, and needs)

When you need to emphasize collectiveness with your audience, use the personal pronoun “we.” 4. Use active verbs and contractions because they add to the personal and conversational tone of your speech. 5. Be sensitive of your audience. Be very careful with your language, jokes, and nonverbal cues. 6. Use metaphors and other figures of speech to effectively convey your point. 7. Manage your time well; make sure that the speech falls under the time limit.
