What tow speech elements should a listener examine analytically?

When analyzing a speech, a listener should examine these two key elements:

1. Content:

* Claim: What is the speaker's main argument or point? Is it clearly stated and supported?

* Evidence: What evidence does the speaker use to support their claim? Is it relevant, credible, and sufficient?

* Reasoning: How does the speaker connect their evidence to their claim? Is the logic sound and persuasive?

* Organization: How is the speech structured? Does the speaker use a clear and logical progression of ideas?

* Information: Is the information presented accurate and relevant to the audience?

* Bias: Does the speaker present a biased or one-sided perspective?

2. Delivery:

* Verbal: How does the speaker use their voice? Are they clear, articulate, and engaging? Do they use appropriate volume, tone, and pace?

* Nonverbal: How does the speaker use their body language? Do they make eye contact, use gestures effectively, and maintain a confident posture?

* Visual aids: If any visual aids are used, are they relevant, clear, and easy to understand?

* Engagement: How does the speaker engage the audience? Do they use rhetorical devices, humor, or storytelling to keep the audience interested?

* Passion: Does the speaker convey passion and enthusiasm for their topic?

By analyzing these elements, a listener can gain a deeper understanding of the speech and its effectiveness. They can also critically evaluate the speaker's message and determine whether it is persuasive and convincing.
