Effective Public Speaking: Linking General and Specific Purposes

ROSHAAN AMEER DISCUSSION PUBLIC SPEAKING This first paragraph that is in determining the specific purpose chapter is extremely important to me because it helps me identify how I will be able to cater to my audience and what I would be specifically aiming for in the purpose within my speech. It is extremely important to me personally to know the goal within my speech that I want my audience to understand and get the concept of when my speech is all said and done. In this chapter when it comes to learning how to phrase what do you want your angle to be and the purpose of your speech it gave two examples of how you can state it within your speech. The first example is “to inform my audience about…” and the second example is “to persuade my audience to….” Those were the two examples given to me in the chapter. That I will be able to use while trying to grow as a public speaker in identifying and making my general-purpose clear to my audience. How do you make sure that the general-purpose connects with the specific purpose and the topic within your speech? You need to keep a few things in mind in order to guarantee that the general purpose of your speech will connect with the particular purpose of your speech as well as the subject that you will be discussing. Define your general purpose in a clear and succinct manner To begin, describe your general purpose expression in a clear and concise manner. Make sure that it adequately represents what it is that you want to accomplish with the address that you are giving. Be positive that your audience will find your general-purpose declaration fascinating and that it addresses their needs. Determine your specific purpose After you have formulated a general purpose statement that is understandable, it is time to determine the particular purpose of your presentation. Your general purpose statement should serve as the basis for the particular purpose statement, which should be more narrowly concentrated. It should determine the primary objective of your address as well as what you want the audience to take away from listening to it. Pick an appropriate subject to discuss: Pick a subject that is pertinent to both the general-purpose and the specific-purpose assertions you made earlier. Check to see that the subject matter is something that your audience will find intriguing and fascinating. Organize your address: When organising your speech, make sure to do so in a way that is rational and cohesive, bearing in mind both your general-purpose and specific-purpose assertions. Make use of a blueprint to assist you in constructing the framework of your speech and ensuring that each segment of your speech is pertinent to the general purpose of your presentation. You should support your general-purpose and specific-purpose assertions with evidence in the form of instances, anecdotes, statistics, and other types of evidence. This will assist in making your statement more convincing and appealing to the audience that you are addressing. If you follow these instructions, you will be able to ensure that your general purpose interacts with the particular purpose, as well as the subject, of your address. This will help you present a statement that is more effective and appealing to the audience that you are speaking to.
