I have heard many speaches before. Some were emotional and sad while others were dull and boring. The variation of responses that arise from different types of speaches make me think. What is it that make speaches so variable? I think it has to do with the speaker's knowledge of the type of audience that he is talking to and the way that he adapts his/her speach to appeal to that group. They use many tricks though, age, sex, religion, origin, and other factors all play into the different types of audience reactions that they will get.
I have personally seen a speaker who appealed to his audience in an emotional way. He was talking about the hollocaust and the negative effects of the war. He had managed to make every single person in the audience cry, and all he was doing was telling us a story of what his life was like when he was a kid; he even showed us the number tatooed on his wrist. All in all, it was a very effective speach and he had our attention for the entire three hours that he talked.
I have also seen a speach that focused on a needs based appeal. In fact we see mini-versions of these speeches everyday when we watch commercials on T.V.. All of the ads that we watch are all speaches telling us why we need certain products and how they will make our lives better. I think that this is a very effective way to reach your audience because as human beings we like to be told what we 'need' or what will improve our lives.
